Student e-news - March 2006

Spring break is just around the corner. Did you know that students who attend
institutions in the UK often have as much as five weeks off between terms? Whether
you've always dreamed of cycling from Penzance to Skye, or are itching to explore
continental Europe, spring break UK-style offers plenty of opportunities to indulge your
budget travel fantasies. Check out our Student Life and Cool UK sections for more great
ideas on how to spend your free time while studying in the UK.

In other news, we hope you enjoy the new look of our monthly e-Update. Keep an eye
out for more enhanced features coming soon!
