Ask us colleigettes ten years ago what our Halloween plans are and we might have gotten wholesome responses involving pumpkin carving, trick or treating and most importantly dressing up as your favorite princess (of course, your mom making sure you had on enough layers to keep you warm all night). Fast-forward and our responses have drastically changed thanks to one of Madison’s favorite traditions, Freakfest. Halloween on our campus is not only a time to express your creativity through your fab costume, but also a time to experience State Street in a different way than the other 364 days of the year.
