College students nationwide will soon start heading off for Spring Break. However, if they don't read the fine print, it could be ‘Spring Broke’ for some.

More than a million kids will soon leave campus for Spring Break, and there's an industry to help them get there.

However, one consumer advocacy group says if you're not careful, you could be buying a trip to rip-off city.

"We found over 17 different flyers on different campuses and all of them showed some kind of deceptive advertising."

A couple of years ago, the Public Interest Research Group took issue with the Spring Break travel business.

The main complaint? The cost of a trip averaged 62% higher than the price advertised, hidden fees, averaging $367. Fees not included in the advertised prices included things like departure taxes of as much as $150 bucks, along with processing fees that in some cases, approached $50 bucks and surcharges for ‘Peak Weeks’ that were as high as $80 dollars.

The result? Trips that cost a lot more than advertised.

So what's a sun-seeking student to do? "A: read the fine print. It isn't always there or if it is there it's not in plain English, so they don't know what they're even reading. Also, don't send any money until you know exactly what this trip is going to cost you."

It turns out Spring Break isn't just a chance for relaxation; it's an opportunity for a little consumer education as well.
