I had a blast in Key West this year. It's kind of a "freshman thing" in my chapter, all the older sisters went when they were freshmen. It's kind of nice for the parents to deal with for our first college spring break because it's a loooooong drive but at least is still in the same state for us, and when they think Key West they think seafood and Ernest Hemingway.
But we know better. I went with 20+ of my sisters, which is about 1/3 of my pc, and there were a good amount of kids from UF there, too. Vanderbilt and a few other schools were there at the same time. We lived in squalid conditions...packed hotel rooms, our stuff covering every inch of space, food and alcohol all over the rooms, blenders and ice taking up more space on the bathroom counter than actual bathroom items, but it was fun to run around and get ready to go out every night. It was awesome to see sisterhood in action...things that normally would spark petty fights didn't.
All the clubs were packed. Good crowd. Not too harsh on IDs, if you have one you're fine even if it belongs to someone of a different race (seriously, they just want to see something, anything.) If you don't have one, it is SO easy to pass back.
During the day we did touristy things like the southernmost point but for the most part we shopped. And went to the beach. But the last two days we were there the weather was outta control and rainy and cold. So if we could have fun in rainy weather I bet you'd have even more fun in normal conditions.
I had the best time but don't know exactly if it's the BEST place ever to go for spring break. I think Daytona or Panama City are wilder. But it just depends on what you're looking for.
