Spring Break is approaching quickly. Soon a number of the nation’s college students will be basking in the warm sunlight and frolicking in blue-green waters of the tropics, or going back home to visit family and friends
While some of our peers already have plans, some of us are still trying to figure out what to get ourselves into. If you are looking for something fun to do over spring break, check out Adventure Outings.

Spring Break Safety Tips: Safeguard your Stuff at Home and Away
Before leaving your apartment, make sure you secure all your valuables. While away, be sure to take care of yourselves.
- If you have an alternative location for your valuables, like your permanent address, take them there. Knowing your valuables are in a safe location will make moving the items worthwhile.
- If you’re leaving your vehicle behind, make sure there’s nothing in view that would attract a thief.
- Back up your cell phone information. With smart phones you can back up files on your computer or a flash drive in case you lose your phone. Try to limit how much personal data is on your phone when on spring break in case it gets stolen.
- Make sure you have extra copies of your credit card information in case the actual cards are lost or stolen. This way you can have the necessary information on hand when you call to cancel the cards.
- Think twice about bringing your laptop along. Lots of hotels offer business centers where you can check your e-mail, so taking a laptop isn’t always necessary.
- While some places require cash, only carry what you need. Some hotels offer safety deposit boxes so you don’t have carry around your whole vacation budget in your wallet.
- NEVER go places alone
