Some college students continue spring break plans

Even though 60% of colleges canceled spring break and many others offered alternative breaks this year to keep students from traveling during the coronavirus pandemic, students are still showing up at traditional spring break locales such as Miami Beach. One student in California, who campaigned to keep the break at her school, says students need time off for reasons other than partying, including taking a “mental health breather,” working extra hours to pay for school, scheduling doctor’s appointments or spending time with family.
