Paying for Spring Break

Traveling on a budget

  1. Instead of an expensive airfare or renting a car, check out bus tickets at greyhound.com. They offer a student discount card that allows you to save 15% on fares. If you are overseas, try using local buses and trains.
  2. Visit www.statravel.com or www.studentuniverse.com for discounted student rates on hotels, airfare, car rental, rail passes, and hostels.
  3. As an alternative to expensive hotel rooms look for inexpensive options such as hostels or camping. Visit www.hostelworld.com to find information about hostels around the world.
  4. Buy food at a grocery store or farmers market instead of eating at restaurants for each meal.
