For This Year's Spring Break, Cost Is the Name of the Game


In an interview at the the Student Learning Center at the University of Georgia Monday morning, sophomore Sam Hall admitted he was forced to change his spring break plans and settle on renting a condo with 12 friends for a week in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
            Although Gulf Shores is “the hip place to go for Spring Break,”  Hall explained it wasn’t his first choice of travel destinations.
            “Renting a cabin in the North Georgia Mountains was actually what I wanted to do,” Hall said, “but price became an issue and our group had to find somewhere else.”
Unlike the $400 a week the cabin in the mountains would have run, his Gulf Shores trip will cost each person a more reasonable $200, said Hall, a sophomore, business-finance major
            In order to afford the trip, Sam said he has cut back on eating fast food. He believes this is a sacrifice he feels is well worth a week of swimming, socializing and relaxing.
