16.Spring break is a beloved tradition of the American education system,from Kindergarten through graduate school.But for international students who arrive in America for college,spring break is a big challenge.Here are several ways international students can spend spring break in the United States.
Stay on campus
Honey Lee from Egypt will remain on campus this spring break because she says she has nowhere else to go."A lot of international students stay in the dorms over breaks,but it can still get lonely,"she says.
Some schools have programming for international students over breaks.Vanderbilt University organized a spring break trip for international students to the nearby mountains.Some schools also give away movie passes to international students staying on campus for the break.
Reconnect with high school friends
Chaudhury from India suggests international students look for and find others from their high school that also chose to study in this country."I certainly get somewhat jealous and lonely when I hear of my American friends going back home so often,"he says."Seeing my high school friends isn't like being at home,but it's a good substitute(代替者)."
Visit the homes of friends or family
Breaks can give international students a chance to experience American family life.
Last year Lizzie Ballard from the United Kingdom visited the home of a friend in southern California over Thanksgiving and spent Christmas with another friend's family in Fort Wayne,Ind."I'm never going to get the chance to do Thanksgiving or have an American Christmas again,"she says."It's nice to spend time with a family and see what real life is like here."

Carlsen from Japan suggests international students make use of the break time to explore this country."That experience is very fun and enriching,"he says.Carlsen will visit San Francisco this spring break,and he has spent previous breaks in New York City,Connecticut,and Hawaii.He says New York City is a popular destination among international students.
