The rich? Seriously?? At my state college, lots of people went to Florida or Cancun for spring break, and they were middle class.

Going to the beach for the first half of the break and then coming home for the second half.

Are students allowed to stay on campus over Christmas and spring break? Are dining halls open?
Back in the day when we had to stay at school for Spring Break due to to sports, we all bunked with the kids who lived off campus, but the training table was open in the dining hall.

I sure hope these are the things my kids do on breaks. My senior is very much looking into schools with undergrad research and global education.
*shrug* My kid is in her second year of a microbiology PhD program at Duke and never did research over spring break. School year and summers, yes. But she spent one spring break partying in FL with friends, one in Austin visiting high school BFF at U of Texas, and two at home relaxing.
Feeling superior because of your kid’s spring break plans is so bizarre and unhealthy.
So is feeling defensive about them. This PP said nothing negative about other plans and is not even talking about her own kids. Presumably, she’s responding to previous claims that research trips are BS by giving examples of trips she’s heard about that could be characterized as research-related and that she thinks were worthwhile.
Really? You don’t see how “my child doesn’t know anyone going on spring break, only the rich and unmotivated do that” could be problematic?
You are as socially clueless as the person who said it.
Burn.
Again, different poster. This poster’s kids aren’t in college yet.

What are you talking about? If your kids do research over the entire summer instead of a spring break, you are EXACTLY like the PP's relatives she is describing and not the kids going to wet t-shirt contests in Daytona.

I sure hope my kids do whatever the hell they want on breaks. They’re human beings, and 18-22 year old human beings at that. If they want to go hang out at the beach for a week, they should do that (provided they have the money to pay for it). If they want to come home and watch Netflix for a week, they should do that.

No, not defensive but calling other moms “bimbo moms” is enough to start the fire works.
