Just got my freshman class schedule and I'm super excited about planning my first college spring break for the 2024-2025 school year. Anyone know when most colleges have their spring break? I want to go somewhere with a lot of students my age. Thanks all!
The timing of spring break can vary widely between colleges and even between different schools within the same state. However, for many universities, spring break typically occurs between late February and early April. If you're looking for the time when you're most likely to encounter other college students on break, you might want to aim for the middle of March. Many schools seem to schedule their break in the second or third week of March.
One way to predict this for 2025 would be to check the academic calendars of various colleges online. Most colleges post their academic calendars several years in advance. You can check the spring break dates for the universities that you are interested in or schools that are known for a heavy spring break turnout.
However, remember that it's always a good idea to focus on what will make your break enjoyable and meaningful to you, not just where the majority of other students might be heading. Whether that's volunteering, interning, working, relaxing, or traveling, that's entirely up to you. Enjoy your first spring break, it's a rite of passage!
