Companies like EF College Break and STA Travel offer students attractive vacation packages that include meals, hotel stays and optional tour guides. Because these are packaged trips, students pay less than if they had planned the trip on their own.
Rather than spending break on the beach, some college students opt to volunteer instead. Recently, students helped with the disaster relief efforts of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. There are also other opportunities available around the world for students seeking an alternative spring break.
If students plan on vacationing on an island, a cruise may be a fun way to party on the way to the destination. These cruises are for individuals who are 21 and over. And, they offer a variety of activities including pool parties, a movie theater and themed social mixers.
Students often dream of having their spring break at a popular international location such as Cancun, Jamaica, Puerto Vallarta or Los Cabos.
Some students, who want to save cash, choose to stay closer to home by spending their break at a nearby beach or a popular tourist location. These locations include Panama City Beach, Las Vegas, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and South Padre Island.
Finally, some students decide to visit their family back home for their spring break. It is a perfect time to catch up with friends and family, and home can be a great comfort for students who still experience homesickness.
