Trying to coordinate a trip with friends from different schools next year. Does anyone know what weeks in March are more commonly observed as spring break by most colleges?
Most undergraduate colleges in the US have their spring break in March. However, the exact week can vary widely. Usually, spring break occurs anywhere between the first week of March and the first week of April. Some schools even schedule their spring break as late as the second week of April.
In my experience, the bulk of colleges seem to lean towards the middle of March, typically falling around the 7th to the 21st. This is most commonly due to mid-term exams, as schools like to provide a break after these are completed.
It's best for you and your friends to individually check with your respective schools to get the exact spring break dates because not all colleges and universities follow the same schedule. This way, you can coordinate the most suitable time for all of you to go on your trip. Just keep in mind that it might be challenging to find a week where everyone's spring breaks align perfectly, so it would be good to have some flexibility in your planning.
