Probably the biggest difference between Halloween at home versus Halloween at school (besides the excessive drinking, of course), is that it lasts a whole three nights. Three nights means three costumes, and for those accustomed to just throwing something together for one day, this can be a bit daunting. But three nights also means three opportunities for creativity. Sure, you have your solo Superman costume for Thursday night, but what about Friday and Saturday? Halloween is the night when kids who never leave their dorm will venture out to State Street. Perhaps, then, this is not only a great time to show off by yourself, but also how many friends you have managed to acquire.
