Great Vacation Spots for College kids?

I live in upstate new york and am trying to find a good vacation spot for my boyfriend and myself for the a week in July. We’re college kids so we’re looking for something cheap, not too far away, fun, and with a good night life. I really want to go to a beach, but he’s not so much of a beach bum so we also need something else to do (amusement park, etc.). Any advice would be great. Thank you!
