Take Flight to Universities Across the Country

College towns are an epic place of gathering for professors, students, alumni, and sports enthusiasts alike. Maybe you are traveling to school before your classes start in the fall, or you are looking for a quick getaway from your dorm. Perhaps you live out of town and want to fly in for the weekend to cheer on your alma mater at a football or basketball game. You may also be trying to decide where to go to school by taking tours of several colleges. No matter the occasion, getting to school is a big deal, and convenient travel to out-of-the-way campuses can be a challenge. Fortunately, Breeze flies to cities near more than 50 major universities across the United States. 

What's in a School?

What is it that draws us to a certain university? Each year, prospective students evaluate colleges for curriculum, social life, athletics, and affordability. But does it go deeper than that? Many of us fall in love with a school’s branding from a young age. Maybe your parents were alumni. Or maybe you grew up near the campus and rooted for sports teams as they competed for a national championship. One thing is true, when you make the decision to attend a school, you become a part of its community for life.   

College towns are exciting places where students, faculty, and visitors from all walks of life come together with ideas that can change the world. Attendees and guests alike will find plenty to do while on campus. Visit state-of-the-art research facilities and libraries with endless resources to fuel inspiration. Be moved by a musical event in a concert hall or at a campus pavilion. Hit up food trucks serving cuisine from a variety of cultures. Get a pulse on campus life by visiting a local bar. Enjoy serene green spaces, an escape from nearby bustling city streets. Make the most of your time by taking advantage of all your university of choice has to offer. 

One thing on campus unites everyone in an unparalleled way. Make sure to catch college gameday, a scene where students brim with emotion express passion for their school and a desire to win. Cheer on an athletic contest that will award bragging rights to one student body over another for years to come. No matter the sport, these events are the glue that holds comradery through generations of academics together. Whether you are a student, alumni, or local fan, celebrate the rich tradition of your team on gameday.
