Money, location primary factors for KU travelers

Home sweet home is exactly what some college students avoid as spring break approaches.
Homesickness, stress and
Many key factors are weighed as students select their spring break locations.
Some eager students looking for fun and excitement in a typically unchaperoned environment may begin planning their trips and adventures in early fall. Others procrastinate and wait to make plans because of stress from classes or their faith in the groundhog's predictions.
mom's meatloaf persuade some students to get back to their roots and spend the week free of instant macaroni and cheese and laundry duty.
"I've been wanting to visit my best friend, and spring break is the only time I could get away," she said.
Jessica Stretz, Albuquerque,
N.M., freshman, decided to
make that kind of trip.
Kayla Monson, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, had her sights set on Cancun, Mexico, a resort town that attracts college students across the country because of its warm climate and party atmosphere.
"We knew people who had been there before, so we got organized and it ended up being fairly inexpensive," she said.
However, some students prefer
"A couple of my friends and I have been taking the road trip up to the mountains for years now. We even videotape ourselves on the way so we can remember the craziness that goes on."

to opt for a cozy cabin and a pair of skis in a cooler environment.
Evan Flett, Ottawa freshman,
said he chose a trip to Colorado
because it was a tradition for him.
"A couple of my friends and I have been taking the road trip up to the mountains for years now," he said. "We even videotape ourselves on the way so we can remember the craziness that goes on."
"After my girlfriend spent Thanksgiving with my family, her parents offered to buy me a plane ticket so I could return the visit over break," he said.
Whatever the destination, money plays a large role in spring break plans. The price tag is a little hard to swallow for some students after airfare and accommodations are factored in. However, group rates and parents' generosity help some find the extra cash.
Dale Ziegler, Lenexa sophomore, hit the jackpot by inviting his girlfriend to dinner.
Unfortunately, not all students are given the choice or the chance to express their preference of destination.
"I'll go wherever my parents let me go," said Jen Winters, Quincy, Ill., freshman.
Scramble for spring break cash is under way

It is one of the few warm days in February, and already thoughts of spring break are popping into Kate Hackett's mind. Hackett, an Overland Park freshman, said she had money on the brain. She said she wanted the money fast and needed the money before the cruise she was taking with her family this March.
Hackett is not alone. Many students find themselves in need of additional dollars before heading off to various spring break destinations. However, instead of a more traditional part-time job, Hackett chose a less time-consuming method of money making: She donates plasma.
She jumps into her 1990 Ford Escort and heads off to NABI Biomedical Center, 816 W.24th St., where the procedure is performed.
"I've given blood before, so I'm not worried about the pain factor," Hackett said. "I like the idea of giving plasma because it's a way of helping people and profiting from it."
Hackett said she planned to give plasma once a week until the end of March. She said she made around $20 per donation depending on specials that the center offered at that time.
Chris Zampas, Leawood freshman, is also in the market for money. He said that although his parents gave him an allowance, unexpected expenses had made a job a necessity if he wanted to take
a road trip with his friends during the break.
"The allowance helps with late night chalupa runs at Taco Bell," Zampas said. "It serves its purpose there, but it's not enough to pay for some of my car problems and my spring break. I can't say I'm looking forward to working, but it's going to put money in my pocket, which is definitely a positive thing."
The film student said he applied for a job at two of the movie theaters in Lawrence and also at a blockbuster Video. However, he said Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar, 2520 Iowa St., was probably where he would end up working.
"My dad knows some people there," Zampas said. "I'm sure I'll make some new friends and have a
semi-good time. It is a job, though."
He said gas money, food and entertainment probably would be the only things he for which he would have to pay.
"A road trip isn't as expensive as flying somewhere, so I can save some of my money for other things." Zampas said.
Mike Smith, Kansas City, Kan,
sophomore, said he would need
money to pay for a flight. He said
that he was planning a trip to
Cancun, Mexico and that to save up,
he was working as a waiter at BD's
Mongolian Barbecue in Overland
Park. Smith said his part-time job
required a lot of prioritizing.
"It's hard, balancing school and work, but I think I can manage it well and still earn enough to go on vacation," Smith said.
