Thinking about taking a college road trip? Not sure where to start? One of the best things about road trips is their flexibility. Your road trip will be what you make of it -- so set a goal in advance. (And don't forget to pack a camera other than the one in your phone!)
College Road Trip Ideas
Plan a sports-themed trip. Into baseball, football, or basketball? Plan a trip to visit some of the most famous parks. Find out what the options are for taking a tour of the ballpark and if there are any special games going on while you're in town.
Plan a food-themed trip. Love soul food? Interested in finding the best vegan fare out there? Want to visit the best seafood places? Plan a trip that focuses around classic American cuisine and get ready to eat your heart out. (Think creatively about this one, too: several college students at Birmingham-Southern College earned credit for taking a road trip and studying southern barbecue.)
Plan to visit places near your home or school. You don't have to drive far to have a road trip be a success. Find some amazing places in your state, grab an atlas, and hit the road.
Plan a trip around your interests. Are you and your friends really interested in American history? The dynamics of border towns? Particular figures in American literature? Cities with a strong history of supporting the gay or civil rights movements? With a little research and a little geek chic, you can have a fun and interesting Spring Break.
Plan a pick-up-you-friends themed trip. Have several high school friends scattered around the state? Plan a trip to pick them all up over several days, ultimately arriving in a city of everyone's choosing. Enjoy the time catching up without having to worry about everyone's travel plans.
