I don’t travel, but if I were to vacation, I’d avoid places like that like the plague (because they do have the plague, in a sense). I’m 31 and would have very little in common with a 19 year old.

Spring Break...It’s like nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded. What a bunch of losers!

I agree about avoiding Nassau on spring break, but you can stay in the Bahamas: on Eleuthera, Exuma, or Abaco you will find beaches just as good, with no spring-breakers getting in the way.

My college days spring break just meant more hours I could work and study. It also showed who had rich parents. No way I could afford a multi thousand dollar trip to some far off location just to have a week long bender.

My wife just got back from Cabo, said the college horde was just starting to trickle in. She couldn’t get out fast enough.

3, 2, 1... until FR’s resident church ladies show up to lament the state of today’s college students while casually informing us that their children plan on spending spring break engaged in Bible study and painting orphanages, —as they did in college.

I’m glad they mentioned Nashville. Been there twice and it’s a great city to visit and even more so if you want to avoid the college crowds. I remember going there in January and being able to walk around with my jacket open and not needing gloves or boots.

LOL! They list Palm Springs as an alternative to Vegas. I visited Palm Springs in 1985 during spring break and it was overrun with college students.

The main strip through town was packed with cars and people cruising. Things got out of hand in the late afternoon and by 8pm the National Guard showed up in force (by that time there were riots occurring along that same strip, complete with a capsized Winnebago).

Most of those places are real easy to avoid. Only people with lots of money can go there!

Seems like every college kid in the South comes here, Panama City, Destin, Ft. Walton Beach, Navarre to Pensacola, FL.

There is usually one or two deaths each year from falls off balcony railings by drunk kids.................

“Spring Break” — an idea that Corporate America needs to implement. Maybe Trump can force all companies to offer this perq. Hillary would have granted it on May 1, but that’s too late in the springtime.

The students are lured by sunny beaches, inexpensive lodging, endless

I'm sure that "expensive" is a relative term, but I don't think any of those places listed offers a room rate I could've afforded while in college. I suppose a group could split a suite 4-6 ways, but that's a good-sized cost.

I do hear that a large number of students use student loan excess to pay for such extravagance. With plane fare and meals, it's no wonder so many students can't pay back their loans.
