Depending on the road bike, you might be able to install wider tires for the winter.
How are you going to carry your books? Will you use a backpack or are you looking to use a rack? Not all road bikes can handle a rack.
You might consider a hybrid bike. It has wider tires, can hold a rack, and is good for riding on roads or trails.
