When do most colleges have their spring break?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to plan out some college visits and I'm looking to do so during their spring break. From your experience, when do most colleges generally have their spring break?

While exact dates can vary greatly from school to school, many U.S. colleges tend to have their spring break around late February to early April. Some universities schedule their spring break in the second or third week of March, aligning it with public school spring breaks. However, it's worth noting that this is a general estimate and it could be different depending on the specific institution.

In order to get the most accurate information, I'd recommend checking the academic calendar on the website of each college you're interested in visiting. This will not only let you see when their spring break is, but also any other days when classes might not be in session.

Keep in mind that visiting during spring break may mean you get a quieter campus experience, which can be a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, you may get more personalized attention on tours or in information sessions. On the other hand, you may not get to see the normal hustle and bustle of campus life, and some services may be limited or closed.
