spring breaks

March student exodus

Spring breaks is the plural of spring break, the week-long vacation from school or university that falls in March or April.

The plural appears when comparing different years or institutions: Spring breaks used to mean road trips to Florida; now everyone flies to Cancun.

It also covers multiple people's separate vacations: Our spring breaks don't overlap this year.
