These are the best Halloween costumes that all students can enjoy.

Halloween is just around the corner and we’re ALL struggling to find the perfect costume. Nobody wants to be simple and act like the devil for the third year in a row, but there is also the risk of becoming too niche. Finding the perfect Halloween costume is HARD. Especially when your Shein orders don’t arrive on time and everything doesn’t look the way you envisioned. So here are some simple yet creative Halloween costumes that ALL students can enjoy. Enjoy.

1. Fire alarm at 3 am.

The most annoying experience known to every university student. Fire alarm at 3am. For this costume you will need red, orange, yellow clothes (for the fire) but a robe and slippers to show that it is 3 am.

2. Silver fish

I’ve seen some people do this and think it’s a very nice costume. Just gather a group of friends and go as the silverfish found in your house. All you need is a metallic silver top paired with a shiny silver skirt and some silver antennae. Ideal.

3. Angry Landlord

For this costume, all you need is a wrinkled forehead, a big baggy jacket, and a sign that says “RENT NOW!” Everyone will really be terrified.

4. Pesto pasta

Aren’t we all tired of this already? Seeing my housemates do this really gives me goosebumps. This costume would make a cute costume for a duo. Some go as green pesto pasta, and some go as red pesto pasta. All you need is green or red clothing and maybe a picture of macarons on yourself. Simple and easy, like pesto pasta.

5.5 pounds sterling

The one everyone loves, £5 pint. You can either go out of your way to dress up like a real pint, or cover yourself in beer logos and fake £5 notes. This is original.

6. Freshman flu

This is the uni experience that all students know all too well. The infamous freshman flu. For this costume, you can wear long nightgowns, nightcaps, and carry several packs of Kleenex with you. Bonus points if you drink from the mug all night.

7. Hangover

This costume will definitely make you feel like you’re on the morning after Halloween. To dress like a hangover, you need to put on your scruffiest pajamas, or put on an outfit and pretend it’s the outfit you wore “the night before.” You’ll need sloppy makeup, mascara under your eyes, and smudged lipstick. In addition, the hair must be collected and combed. The dirtier the better.

8. Shark

Now…this is for those who we know are preying on freshmen. To do this, wear all gray and make your own shark fins. People will think you’re Jaws, but you’re actually posing as those weird third-year sharks you know about…

9. Chunder

Like the hangover suit, this one is meant to be even messier. To do this, you will need to wear all green and carry a sick bag with you. This will be fun if you are known as the party boss.

10. Rugby boys

It will be very funny for girls. Just find some shorts, an oversized sweatshirt, and throw on a wig. To make things better, buy a fake mustache and wear fake signet rings. Be sure to place accents.

11. Mold

This costume will be very creative. You can wear gray and black colors with blue dots. For a duo costume, ask a friend to go as the artist since we all know homeowners like to just paint over the mold rather than fix the real problem x

12. Your favorite teacher

You can go as your favorite lecturer or as your least favorite lecturer. Either way, you’ll just have to cosplay what they’re wearing. Yes, you may have to tell everyone what you’re wearing, but your course friends will understand the joke.

13. Assignment

This costume can be quite cool and creative. For this costume, you can wear a simple shirt with essays printed all over the body. Or you can just write gibberish on yourself with a marker.

14. Graduate

This costume can be a cute decoration for all seniors. Can you imagine dressing up as a three-piece from your high school musical?

15. Stupid freshness

This is a game for those who want to relive their stupid, more recent game. For this costume, you could put on your old freshmen, put on a bunch of fake club bracelets, wear some weird festival props, and have a sign that asks, “What’s your name? Which halls are you in? What degree are you studying for?

16. Dirty dishes

I think this might be tricky, but I’m sure there are a few costume shops that sell real plate costumes, knife and fork costumes, etc. All you have to do is draw some characteristics of the food and there you go you have it. Or you can bring your plates and wear brown clothes.

17. Traffic cone

Like the silly fresh ones, you can relive Freshers’ Week by dressing up as a traffic cone. If you return to someone’s apartment and see this, run. You can buy a traffic cone costume or go neon orange with metallic silver.

18. UNiDAYS/student discount

The one thing university students LOVE is student discounts, but this means your student finances will take a hit. So, to pay homage to our beloved UNiDAYS, you can wear the green and white colors of the logo. Or they may print a fake voucher on you.

19. Crying in the library

Crying in the library is an experience that EVERY university student has gone through. For this costume, wear all black (like mourning), apply mascara to your cheeks, and carry a few library books with you.

20. Your favorite club

This costume may be quite simple, but it can bring back some haunting memories. You can easily wear your favorite club outfit and print your favorite uni club. It would be more recognizable if you decided to play on words with the name of the club.

21. Your degree

Simple, considering it’s your entire personality now. You always see “dress like a grad” themed parties. So why not use it as a Halloween costume? You can wear a nurse’s outfit for health sciences, a librarian’s outfit for English, a football uniform for sports science, and a Shakespeare uniform for drama.

22. A famous street in your university.

This would be a fairly niche costume, but it could be quite iconic if your university has an infamous street – but wherever it is, it holds some important memories, most of which you’d rather forget. All you have to do is dress according to the vibe of the street and carry a sign with the name of the street. It would be better if you and your friends went on different streets.

23. Vape

The vape would be a simple yet fun outfit and would pay homage to the soon-to-be-banned disposable vapes. You will need bright clothing and a sign on your hip: 600 puffs, and a Lost Mary or Elf Bar logo on the other. It would be even funnier if you carried a flashlight and shined it on it, turning you into a dying vape.

24. Your former situation

Again, this costume will play off the Dress Yourself theme party, but scarier. You will need to wear big baggy boys’ clothes and copy what your former Situationist wore. Or you can go like a trash bag because your ex is trash x

25. Your university friends

One of the simplest Halloween costumes. It will be fun to do it with a group of friends from university where you all dress like each other. This will be a fun but useful costume where you can joke around with each other and also gauge how well your friends know you. Warning: Things can go south quickly.

26. Cheese chips

Last but not least, the alarming amount of cheesy chips we students eat. This could be a duo costume where one will be the cheese and the other the chips. Or you can make a group costume with chips, cheese, ketchup, garlic mayonnaise and someone else dressed as a kebab shop owner. You are sure to turn heads at Halloween parties.
