Halloween Happenings

For most, Halloween starts October 1st and goes all through the month. We watch the trending makeup tutorials, get recipes on the spookiest snacks, and try out all the DIY decorations we can imagine. In Boston, college students have access to a ton of holiday festivities as well. But there are just so many to choose from! If you're having trouble deciding what to do this Halloween season, here are some of my favorite happenings throughout the month: 

 

 

 

 

Screeemfest  

October 21st 3-11 

The Office of Student Involvement and Leadership is hosting a trip to Canobie Lake Park for Screeemfest! With games, live shows, and FIVE haunted houses, get ready for a night of fright with your fellow students. To secure a spot, head to the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership. All tickets are free with a $5 refundable deposit, but hurry because spaces are limited!
