Timing of College Spring Breaks

Just curious, does anyone know around what week most colleges have spring break? Particularly interested in any regional trends you've noticed!

Most colleges in the United States schedule their spring break sometime between early March and early April. Keep in mind that the exact timing can vary significantly not just from college to college, but also from year to year depending upon the academic calendar.

In terms of regional trends, a common pattern is that many schools in the south, such as SEC schools, for instance, tend to have their spring break a little earlier—often in early to mid-March. Colleges in colder climates, such as the Midwest and Northeast, often schedule their spring break in late March or early April, in theory providing a better chance for warmer weather.

However, these trends are not hard-and-fast rules and can vary based on specific institutional policies or the calendar for a particular academic year.
