This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Miami (OH) chapter.
We at Her Campus Miami wanted to figure out just what Ohio’s own Public Ivy planned to do over this much needed, and much anticipated, Spring Break. Whether it was a tropical getaway to Mexico, adventurous roadtrip to Gulf Shores, or a trip back home in search of home cooked meals or getting teeth pulled (Sorry Ayrissa); we asked, you answered. Miami students look like they are covering all the bases this coming week. Check out the locations that some of your peers have jetsetted off to this week below!
