Hello! Quick question here. When is Spring Break for most colleges? Trying to plan ahead for college visits and would love to go when the campus is bustling with students.
Typically, spring break for most colleges tends to occur between late February and early April, often taking place during March. However, the specific timing of spring break can vary widely from one institution to another. Some institutions may schedule spring break to coincide with holidays such as Easter, which can result in mid-April breaks.
When planning visits, you'll want to check the academic calendar of each specific institution you're interested in. These calendars typically show when the semester begins and ends, when exams are scheduled, and when breaks occur. You can usually find this information on the college's official website or by contacting the admissions office.
Remember that even during spring break, you might still be able to participate in tours, information sessions, and other admissions events. It's not as ideal for getting a sense of the campus culture with fewer students around, but the admissions office should be open.
