Visit a student travel agency to book a vacation for a group of students or a single traveler. With an international student identification card you can often save a percentage of your trip when traveling with a student travel agency. Here you can find specials available only to students in the form of packaged deals or individual holiday pieces, such as airline and hotel.
If you can't afford to travel immediately, consider traveling abroad for a few weeks during winter or summer break or for an entire semester or year. These trips can be funded through grants and student loans when you travel with a group through school. Keep in mind you are responsible for class work while abroad to gain credits and can be kicked off if you do not participate as required. Often you can find a study abroad program that focuses on your area of study such as architecture or journalism.
Plan a trip during spring break to a warm part of the country. However, instead of traveling to the popular Daytona Beach or Miami, travel to a less popular spot such as Myrtle Beach or the Gulf Shores. Here you'll find other college students enjoying the sun as well, but it will be easier to get a room and enjoy sights as there are less people vacationing there.
Many college students choose to backpack across Europe during their college career. Though it is expensive to fly to Europe from the United States, during off-season months you can find deals that save you hundreds of dollars. You can also stay in hostels that charge you per night by the bed. You can sleep on train rides between cities, but make sure you pack light if you plan to travel to many countries in a short period of time.
