Pack your bags, we’re outta here! It’s Spring Break ’05, and for Northern Kentucky University students, it means the party starts March 6. Students have a lot of studying to do before then, so this is going to make it easier by giving the basics (for any budget) to make this spring break the one to remember.
While most of a your money is going to be budgeted in recreation, sleeping where you pass out is not a qualification for “where to stay.”
There are many Web sites that offer cheap deals on airfare, hotels, vacation packages and transportation, but some of the sites are catered specifically to college students, two particular favorites being: www.studentcity.com and www.studentuniverse.com. Through Student Universe, round trip airfare is severely discounted: Las Vegas $280, Miami $218, New Orleans $201, London (UK) $312, Honolulu, $665.

Hey, I’m broke Have no fear; there are plenty of ways to enjoy the break while avoiding going home. Though it can add up, casinos provide great opportunities to experience a local vacation. Three resorts are within a 45-minute drive from NKU and all offer distinct features.
If you enjoy road trips over waterways, check out www.cruiseamerica.com. The possibilities are endless for less than $50 a day, and camping can be found in any city, nationwide.
My part time job is paying off
For those with a slightly larger expenditure, a cruise may be just what you need. Discounts can be found online or through travel agencies where you can go virtually anywhere starting at $199. A great place to start is www.cruzshare.com. There are over 25 destinations and departure ports for any duration of time. Cruises can be themed or standard, but include shopping, prestigious dining, live entertainment and all-night clubs plus spa, salons, pools, hot tubs, golf and so much more.
I got my tax refund back and am loving life
