Spring break is just around the corner and everyone is trying to push through the last week of classes and final exams. Though it is much anticipated, spring break is only one week long and gives little time to enjoy the break from school and relax. For international students and students who live out-of-state, spring break is way too short to travel all the way back home, only to come back to Irvine a few days later. Not only is traveling a huge cost for a lot of people, it is also stressful, tiring, and can be a big problem.
A friend and I have compiled a list of places to visit and places to eat for those students who, for whatever reasons, might not be able to go back home and visit family over break. Be sure to check out all that Irvine has to offer!
