Key places to buy the ever-perfect Halloween costume are found quite close to Radford. Spencer's is known for its ridiculous gag gifts, not to mention it's great selection for Halloween. Next there's always the random party store found in the area, which is filled with wigs and costumes. Last but not least is the savior to all college students: Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is filled with random things year round and put together can make a great costume.

There are three times in the year that students have the tendency to discuss months in advance. Many people look forward to Quad Fest, their birthday, and Halloween. For some reason dressing up in crazy costumes makes the weekend stand out against all others.

Halloween is not only about the costumes but also the excitement. Similar to the excitement we felt as children before walking up to each house, we as college students get the same feeling stepping into the next party. Halloween is a great time to try to show off your humor and creativity; so try to be different and stand out!
