Take a realistic look at your finances to determine how much money you can afford to spend on Spring Break. When considering your budget it is important to prepare for the unexpected, assume everything will cost ten percent more than you expect it to. This way you might end up with a little bit of "mad money" to spend and you won't run short when it is time to pay the bills.
Get together with a large group of friends and travel to the same place for Spring Break. If you can get together enough people you will qualify for group discounts on accommodations and other expenses. Check with a travel agent for group discounts being offered they are often offered during Spring Break by areas looking to draw college students.
Check with the Director of Student Activities at your college to see if any of the groups or organizations on campus have already arranged group discount travel and have any seats available. You might find a club that is traveling to where you want to go that can let you go along at a fraction of the cost of going alone.
Keep it cheap. Instead of flying to Florida maybe you and your friends could enjoy a Spring Break vacation locally. If you are the outdoor type how about camping? If not, how about spending a week in the city?
Volunteer instead. A growing trend for Spring Break is to spend the week volunteering instead of partying. The Student Activities office at your college will probably have several contacts for you if you are interested in spending your week helping others in need.
