Customer Reviews Vera Bradley XL Campus Backpack

I double my vera Bradley back packs as diaper bags and I've been using the regular sized campus back pack but when they came out with this I HAD to buy it! It has SOOO many pockets & so much room & I couldn't be happier!!!

Vibrant colors and plenty of room inside!!!

I wanted a backpack to use for 2-3 day trips without having to take a suitcase. This backpack is the perfect size; I pack clothes, magazines and airline sized liquids and still have room for a small purse and an extra pair of shoes if needed. On plane trips that means one bag to put through the scanner and even packed full, it fits under the seat in front of me. Since it is a canvas fabric it is still fairly lightweight to carry. I love this backpack.

I use this backpack everyday for work to carry my laptop, lunch box, books and other items. It fits everything perfectly. Love the extra pockets they added. I have been buying the Campus Backpack for years and upgraded to this one and it was a great decision!!

This backpack has incredible storage! I know because I bought this as a graduation gift for my niece for starting high school in the Fall. I decided to put a gift in each section and after awhile, I asked, How many compartments are there?. Very roomy, yet beautiful. I know this will be a lot heavier when she has big books in it. Padded areas provide safety for laptops or other media. She loved the pattern with feminine floral and her favorite blue color.

Perfect for a couple of classes. Not large enough for my high school book load. Love the pattern so I'll keep it for college b

I bought it for the 2024/2025 school year for my daughter. She is yet to start using it but it looked well made. Let's hope it will be different. The last 2 never lasted the whole school year. Vera bradley is gradually loosing their quality

Love this backpack and it gives me enough space to organize everything with deep pockets.

It's a really good backpack, I like the storage it provides and the sturdiness. I've been having some issues with the interior filling spilling out / pilling, which is unfortunate because I really like the bag. I wish it had slightly more structure to the back for support, but I really like the straps. The zippers only go one direction on the front two pockets, and there's only one zipper so they can only open and close one way. That is a little annoying but honestly not a dealbreaker. Overall I would recommend this bag. It has some faults, but it's cute and sturdy and has the proper amount of storage for a college student's backpack.

Great bag just one thing that could make it better. With so many pockets/sections it needs to be more than 8.5 inches deep.

Very nice size but patter was a bit much for my daughter s likes

Needed to be bigger. Last one was a bigger size

I like that I can carry my laptop and a multiple of other things in the backpack.

Finally a classy and comfortable backpack for work! It's so lightweight and has plenty of room for when I have work travel too.

Purchased for my Granddaughter and I am sure she will love it.

Wish it had more zippered pockets.

I had to return it because it did not have the hard plastic at the bottom to aid stability. It was great otherwise.

Appears to be well made and sturdy. Results will be seen after it is used by a 7th grader - with no locker - so has to carry ALL books in backpack. For now, she is thrilled - she wanted a more vibrant one, but didn't find one that she liked the pattern.

Not as big as the other backpack we had and the pickets seem smaller but ok

The color isnt the same as in the picture

I purchased the same style and size backpack 2 years ago, but this one is smaller and the regular price has almost doubled. I guess that is to be expected. But the same great quality is there!

I love the Campus Backpack! This is the second one I have ordered. I bought a new one was because my old one was finally wearing out after 6-7 years of use. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because this one is a bit smaller than the last one. It doesn't have as much depth as my last one did, and as a teacher with 100 students, I need lots of room for papers and teacher edition textbooks.

Great organization and would be perfect for air travel under the seat. My only complaint is it is heavier than I expected (about 2.4 lb). I will see if the microfiber version is lighter.

Nice material with lots of pockets. Side pockets for water bottle could be deeper. I replaced an older backpack and I had the largest one made at that time. This is the largest one currently made and it is unfortunately smaller than the older versions.
