On one hand it was awful - lots of fat Frat boys getting stupid girls to flash them in exchange for beads. Lots of other fat Frat boys not taking their drink well and throwing up before midday etc. Lots of whooping and cheering and other cliched college things. On the other hand I had a fantastic time with my college mates. -------------------- Thailand, Laos and Cambodia 2010

Just hung out with some cool people, went to great parties, met loads of new people etc. My accent stood out a mile - in a good way. I went from having 6 friends at my UK Uni to 40 at my USA Uni. :-) -------------------- Thailand, Laos and Cambodia 2010

Granted, it's been a long time since my Spring Break days. But I don't recall anyone I know going to any of those places. Places I would expect: Palm Beach or Miami FL (or some of the other popular Florida beaches). Also, many of the Mexican resort areas were popular with friends: Cabo San Lucas, Rosarito, Mazatlan etc. NO ONE went north. I could see a lot of Easterners going to the Bahamas. -------------------- ~Kit California Local Expert Visit my travel blogs: http://www.travelpod.com/members/kitkatgo

Galveston, TX I've been to #6, 7, and 8 I can't see #2, 5, 6, 10 being vacation spots for students. If so, I want to be able to afford the Atlantis Resort on a student budget. I can think of many places that my friends and I have gone that seem to be more popular than some on this list. -------------------- Local Expert for Ohio, USA Next Countries: May 2010: Banff National Park - Canada Planning RTW in 2010-2011 for Asia and South America - coverage here
