Top Halloween Costumes for College Students!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

Halloween fun takes on a whole new meaning when you are in college. Halloween is the one day of the year when you have an excuse to dress up in a ridiculous costume without being overly judged. Every year it seems as if students get more and more creative with their looks. Although certain costumes tend to be popular just for one year (like Ke$ha last Halloween), here are eight popular costumes among college students. Though they may not be the most creative ideas, these  looks will never go out of style. 

(In no particular order)
#1 Cat woman
# 2 Witch
# 3 Pirate
#4 Firefighter/police officer
# 5 Ballerina/fairy
# 6 Cleopatra
# 7 Indian
# 8 Disney princess
 

Halloween is right around the corner. If you haven’t bought a costume yet, choose one of these looks and you can’t go wrong. What’s your favorite Halloween costume?
