When is Springbreak | Your Ultimate Guide to Dates & Destinations
Planning the perfect getaway starts with one big question: When is springbreak? Whether you’re heading to the beach, hitting the slopes, or joining the biggest party destinations in the world, knowing your exact dates makes all the difference.
If you’re a college student in the U.S., your school’s spring break schedule depends on your academic calendar — and yes, it can vary a lot. That’s why we’ve made it simple: check out our Spring Break Dates by School page to instantly find your exact week off.
Typical Springbreak Timeframes
While exact dates vary by school, most U.S. colleges and universities schedule springbreak during:
-
Early March: Some schools start as soon as the first week of March.
-
Mid-March: The most common springbreak window.
-
Late March to Early April: A smaller number of schools, especially in northern states, have later breaks.
Why Knowing Your Dates Early Matters
Securing your springbreak plans early means:
-
Better flight and hotel rates
-
Prime resort availability
-
Access to the hottest events before they sell out
If you wait too long, you risk higher prices and missing out on top destinations like Cancun, Cabo, Punta Cana, and Nassau — all of which sell out fast.
