Hey all! I was just wondering when the most common weeks for college spring break usually are? I'm trying to plan ahead for some opportunities that might be happening around that time.
The most common weeks for college spring break tend to fall in March, usually from the first week to the last week of the month. It's important to note that spring break can vary significantly between different colleges and universities, and even between different programs within the same institution. Some schools may also elect to schedule their break in early April.
For the majority of colleges, you'll typically find that spring break is a week long, although this can also vary. If you're planning around specific opportunities, it would likely be most beneficial to check with the exact institutions you're considering to know their specific spring break schedule, as some may also forgo a traditional spring break due to adjusted academic calendars during extraordinary circumstances (like a pandemic, for instance).
