Director of student travel website has evidence in proving Chicago as a top travel spot for students

Chicago is a popular tourist destination. Groups -- whether it be families or a clique of friends -- from all over visit. But do college students? Is Chicago a popular place of interest for students when traveling?

Typically, when students travel, places that may come to other people’s minds are Cancun, Miami, Daytona Beach, etc. In fact, the U.S. News Travel website has a list of top travel destinations.

But missing from that list is the Windy City, itself.

Evan Becker, director of partner development of StudentUniverse – which is a site providing students with exclusive deals and experiences for travel – says that Chicago is a popular destination for students, and provided stats in proving so.

“Chicago is definitely one of our more popular destinations here in the U.S. It's actually within our top 10 globally, even,” Becker said.

Becker’s metrics become more specific. He mentions about rankings for hotel bookings for students traveling to Chicago.

“On the hotel side, if we're looking domestically, we see Chicago in our top five,” Becker said.

“It's certainly a popular destination for students to travel. I mean, it's central in the U.S., so it's kind of equidistant from a lot of points around the country. Fairly cheap for students to get to.”

Becker goes onto to say that Chicago is one of those cites that people have been to and seen, comparing it to other known travel spots.

“It's essentially the Midwest version of New York or LA,” Becker said.

“It's driving distance from a lot of the East Coast cities; maybe it takes you a day-and-a-half-to-get-there kind of thing, but students are able to do that.”

Now while that list from U.S. Travel News is geared toward spring break, it’s still pertaining to college students traveling.

Either way, Chicago happens to be, after all, a popular student travel spot.
