Spring break is more than just a week long holiday. It has become an entire industry writes Allie Conti:

• Sites like StudentCity offer spring break packages that include up to 12 hours a day of free drinking in exotic locales with famous DJs.
• Some of these packages cost more than a semester’s worth of tuition.
• While the internet has heralded the end of most travel agencies, the spring break travel industry has thrived.
• This might be in part because students are spending their parents’ money – not their own. The upper-middle class kids might also not know how to deal with unstructured free time – needing the organization of travel packages to schedule their vacation.
• The companies for their part keep staff on-site to refer intoxicated partyers to local officials.
