With omicron cases lowering, and as states loosen Covid restrictions, college students are making up for lost time by traveling over spring break.
In March of 2021, 57% of Americans planned to travel for spring break in a study done by Cars.com.
The Big Picture:
- College students are looking for a way to escape the daily patterns of school and work, even if that means taking a risk during a pandemic to travel and get away. Monica Cruz shared her reasoning of planning a trip with friends to Florida for her spring break.
- College students feel that going away during spring break is a part of the “college experience” . Many students have experienced their spring breaks being cancelled the previous two years, and that they still have a limited social life due to campus restrictions. Spring break provides students an opportunity to escape.
Before You Go:
The CDC recommends that at least two weeks before traveling you are fully up to date with your Covid-19 vaccines (including the booster).
