Spring break is just around the corner! Regardless of your plans, it's great to have some time away from the university and classes. I decided to do a survey to find out the most popular spring break destinations of college students. My data spans four states and includes students from six different universities.

Overall, I found that 69% of the students surveyed are traveling for spring break, and 31% are going home or staying on campus. After I collected my data, I compiled a list of the three main spring break options for college students.

1. The American spring break

Overwhelmingly, the majority of people from my survey are traveling somewhere in the United States. More specifically, Florida is the main spring break destination for college students. Although Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, and Daytona are often thought of as party cities, there are a lot more options to stay active during spring break. It can simply be a relaxing time at the beach with friends, although it does get crowded during the spring season.

2. Traveling abroad

Traveling abroad is the second most popular destination, according to my survey. Many students are going on a cruise. Although traveling by air or boat can be expensive, if you book it far ahead of time, it can be affordable. Out of the people from my survey who are traveling over break, only 11% are visiting another country. This spring break, I will be traveling to Europe as part of that 11%.

3. Staying home

Relaxing and spending time at home is another option for spring break. Whether you're wanting to spend time with family, have work obligations, or are just trying to save some money, staying home can be just as relaxing and rewarding.
