Traveling to Mexico..it's the place to be during Spring Break, but with all of the recent violence, travel advisors are warning vacation goers to stick to the tourist areas. FOX's Ainsley Earhardt takes a look at what some college students are saying.

Partying south of the border..a Spring Break tradition. Thousands of students from all over the U.S. are hitting some of the Mexican hot spots including Cancun.
But with all the violence across Mexico, including a weekend that saw three people with connections to the U.S. Consulate killed in Ciudad Juarez, some Spring Breakers are making new plans - and are critical of others who aren't considering the same thing.
If Mexico is still part of your vacation plans, travel experts recommend you visit the U.S. State Department's web site to see what it has to say about your destination.
