Where Penn Kids Go For Spring Break

As soon as that last Friday recitation is over, thousands of eager Penn students disperse around the world, or at least the tri-state area. Where oh where have all the Quakers gone? Chances are they're at one of these places:

• Their roommate’s lab partner’s best friend’s house in Miami
  • At all times on Penn’s campus, you are one degree of separation from someone with a house in Miami. It’s true-- admissions worked it out that way so we can all mooch have a great Spring Break!
• Cabo/Cancun/somewhere in Mexico
  • OMG, we need an airport Facebook pic STAT because half of the people getting on this plane are from Penn! Like, what are the odds? And who cares if you don’t know the language. You only need to know one word: moe-HEE-toe.

•  Home, where the cats are
  • Honey, we bought this plane ticket so you can come home and be with your family-- which means scarfing various home-cooked foods, avoiding relatives, feeling painfully high school, and brainstorming bitter tweets.
• A remote village to build a house, or something
  • We get it. We suck and you and your ASB are awesome. Have fun sleeping on the floor and not being able to text for a week.
• College road trip 2K13
  • It’s like first semester senior year all over again: meeting old friends and high school acquaintances to experience life on someone else’s college green. This time, though, you don’t have to suck up to any admissions counselors. Sounds fun… again, have fun sleeping on someone’s floor.
• New York. Again.
  • It’s really cool living so close to the city that never sleeps, and all, but after the fiftieth time it kind of loses the allure.
