College students don't just think partying when traveling

College students travel whether it be during spring and summer break or studying abroad. What a student might travel for? Partying might be an option. But that's not all a college student should consider when traveling.

Joshua Pramis, a former social media editor for Travel + Leisure and current DigitalTrends.com freelance contributor, says any person -- not just a college student -- should travel without the sole intent of partying.

Pramis uses an example of when he went on a school trip to Spain when he was 18.

"I went to Spain on a school trip when I was 18, and there was a group of younger students that traveled, Pramis said. "And their sole intention of going to Spain was because they were of age to drink legally. Whereas I went with a small group of my friends, and our intent was mostly to experience the country, experience the food."

Pramis goes onto say that he thinks experiencing a new culture and new destination are reasons that come to mind, and that there are tons more. He is just unsure how often students do so.

When asking Laura O'Brien, college student at Roosevelt University, she said work, family and appointments are reasons she believes a student would travel.
