In 2022, police arrested more than 160 people during a spring break incident when hundreds trashed a Walmart. They seized 75 guns from that case alone.

How long are most spring breaks? Spring break, regardless of where you go to school and what age you are, typically lasts for a week, giving students around 12 days of vacation (including weekends).

Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach, Florida, are taking different approaches to spring break. One city is welcoming college students while the other is telling them to go somewhere else.
