Al Perone, ISU associate dean of students, said the typical destination for ISU students who go on spring break is Florida, and a few are going to South Padre Island in Texas.
A lot of ISU students are going home for spring break "because they don't have the money," Perone said.
Mike was the only one he knew of who was going to Mexico.
Mike and his friends are flying to San Diego, and Tijuana is just across the border.
"We're being smart about it, not stupid," Mike said.
"We'll cross the border and see what the environment is, what the mood is and how uncomfortable we feel."
ISU isn't telling students not to go to Mexico, but they want them to be aware of what is going on, Perone said.
"I wouldn't go if it was me," Perone said.
