In Response to Jake Atherton

If Spring break was labeled under a different name, that didn't bring up the idea of warm weather, would it have a different effect on college students?

I feel like this would have a huge effect on college students.  The idea of spring break in college kids minds is going someone warm with all of their friends and drinking and having fun.  If it marketed different like more conservative vacation spot like museums and educational things it would appeal to people other than college students. Although there are programs like alternative spring break, which are very popular, when anyone thinks of spring break you think of young kids in Mexico.  This is very appealing to college kids because what they want to do is have fun and go to the beach.  I am sure that around this time of year vacation sites will advertise more social scenes and club scenes of a vacation spot than the educational aspects of a certain area.  


Do you think the traditional idea of spring break will ever change?
