Spending a week in Florida, scuba diving, or racecar driving may not be within a college student’s budget this Spring Break.

There are other ways to spend Spring Break (April 14 through 19) without having to dig into next semester’s book money.

Students don’t just have to catch up on reading and assignments; there are events that students can attend while on their break.
