The school year tires you out. For those who live off campus, it’s the daily grind of waking up early in the morning, doing the traffic-filled commute, and making it to class on time to actually get a seat. Then you have to juggle your part-time job dealing with not so nice people and you have to find time to actually do assignments and study.
When that’s all over, you definitely deserve a break. And that means that it’s time for a vacation!
5 Travel Destinations for a Student’s Budget
1. Niagara Falls, New York/Canada
With the right schedule and budget, you can visit two countries in one go at Niagara Falls.

There is no shortage of options even for just one day at the Falls that will make it a perfect getaway.
