Daytona Beach:
A Local Perspective
Daytona Beach is a city that has made itself famous for multiple reasons. Young college students think of it as one of the spring break meccas of the United States. NASCAR fans think of the Daytona International Speedway as the pinnacle of all racetracks, and many of the races that take place in the city are followed by legions of fans worldwide.With four post-secondary institutes in Daytona, the spring-breakers aren't the only students in town. The students of Bethune-Cookman University, Daytona State College, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the Daytona Beach Campus of the University of Central Florida actually make up a significant portion of the city's population throughout the school year.
Finding a Daytona Beach Apartment

Daytona Beach has a very strong reputation as a party town. Remember that a place near the beach or the clubs might seem like a great idea during the year, but once spring break descends on town these places can get pretty wild, not to mention loud. If that's not your scene, you might want to look for a place a little further away from the action.
