10. Negril, Jamaica- With many college students relating to the carefree vibe of Bob Marley it would seem only natural for Jamaica to be a destination for college student. Known as the "capital of casual" it provides the perfect atmosphere of fun and relaxation. With sandy beaches and a wild nightlife, it is sure to be a trip to remember.
9. Lake Havasu, Arizona- Still want the water? Well head inland to Arizona's most popular spring break hot spot. Rally up the troops and pitch in for a houseboat or leave all your responsibilities behind and stay in one of the many hotels. With temperatures reaching the 100s it is the perfect excuse to run around half-naked for a week of non-stop partying.
8. Cancun- Mexico has been a long lasting tradition of college student destinations. But nothing prepares you for Cancun. College crazed students fly in by the hundreds to escape their school pressured lives with partying on their minds. Night cruises and dancing on tabletops is the norm. But poolside naps are even more common. Just make sure to pack some SPF 30 or you'll be leaving with more than you bargained for.
7. South Beach- The glitz and glamour of South Beach is an up and coming spring break destination. Once thought of as a retirement haven is now becoming a hot spot for young fun seekers. Endless white sand beaches and flamboyant personalities will keep every minute exciting. Enjoy chic eateries, trendy boutiques and bronzed beauties around every corner. But don't forget to relax seaside to take in some the beautiful views.
6. Crested Butte, Colorado- For those that enjoy the great outdoors and aren't concerned with getting that perfect tan, then trade the sand filled beaches for powder-covered slopes. Spring break doesn't always mean fun in the sun; so explore nature's beauty with a quaint ski town. With an array of restaurants and pubs you'll sure find a way to unwind after a long day of snowboarding.
5. Hawaii- Aloha, from the big island. Enjoy lush tropical beaches and supreme weather. If the seven-hour flight over the water won't bother you then you are in for a relaxing week of white sand beaches and umbrella-clad drinks. Indulge in all the island has to offer from an array of activities to shopping and hot night scene.
