Ah, spring break. One of the best times to relax in the sun and nonchalantly check out that sexy guy at the pool bar. However, as a broke college student you may be thinking twice about whether to splurge on a week of fun in the sun. Don’t worry, there are many ways to have a fun week without emptying your wallet.
The first thing to do when planning a budget friendly spring break is to ask friends if they have a house somewhere warm. If not, flirt shamelessly with the guy in your class who always wears expensive shoes. If both of these missions fail, check out websites that specialize in helping students plan trips, such as:
- StudentCity.com
- Meaningfultravel.com
- StudentUniverse.com
- Travelcuts.com
If you’re willing to skip out on the typical beach vacation, consider visiting another city. Always wanted to visit Chicago? Book it! Is it on your bucket list to go to the top of the Empire State Building? Head to the Big Apple! Also, consider a road trip. Sometimes the college Spring Break isn’t really about where you go or what you do, it’s just about getting some good friends together to do some adventuring. The road trip is a great option for people who don’t have a lot of money and don’t really care too much what you’re doing together. Pool your resources, hit the road and see where it takes you before you’ve got to head back to Beantown.
Have fun!
