We all love to travel and with summer just around the corner, we are anxiously planning where we’ll go this year. But, working with a college student’s budget can be a bit of a challenge and sometimes making travel plans take a little longer.
Depending on how much money you want to spend and where you want to go, prices can vary drastically. If you’re looking to go abroad, it’s going to cost a lot more money than if you just wanted to do a quick beach trip with your girls.
So, start taking notes, Collegiettes, because we’ve got some great places to travel for you whether you want a long trip abroad or a short trip to the beach!

Southeast Trips
If you’re looking to stay pretty local and save money, there are some really great places in the Southeast that can be quick long weekend trips or full week trips depending on what you want to do. Prices for these trips will vary depending on what hotel you stay at, where you eat, how much gas money, etc. Some travel booking websites that offer good prices on hotels include travelocity, expedia, kayak, and more. Another travel site that people often use now is Airbnb where people can rent a whole house or just a room in a house; it can sometimes even be cheaper than booking a hotel depending on how many people you go with.
