Mostly 2s: Camping and exploring what Mother Nature has given you is how you should spend spring break. Nothing sounds better than hiking by day and enjoying a bonfire and s’mores by night.

 

Mostly 3s: Somewhere, a concrete jungle is calling your name. Bucket list sights (and food) are everywhere. The nightlife of a city is sure to be a highlight of your spring break trip.

 

Mostly 4s: You want to explore a new culture. Going abroad for spring break would open up so many opportunities to learn more about another country’s history, art, food and so much more.
