NYC 

It’s the perfect way to embrace Halloween in the city that never sleeps—especially on October 31st! For those wanting to check out the frightfully fun night of NYC’s famous Village Halloween parade can take the bus from all over upstate NY and tri-state region for as low as $20 on Busbud.

Students from Yale, SUNY Albany, Cornell, and the University of Connecticut, for example, can take in the Tim Burton light show at NY Botanical Garden or student night at Blood Manor, NYC’s largest haunted house. 

DC

Students can journey for a historic haunting at Capitol Hill and look for the ghost of John Quincy Adams. Students from Virginia Tech, Virginia Commonwealth University, and James Madison, for example, can also visit the steps from The Exorcist in Georgetown and a candlelight tour of the Congressional Cemetary.

Philadelphia

Students can travel to the birthplace of America for a fang-tastic Halloween visiting the five haunted houses at the Eastern State Penitentiary. Students from Penn State, the University of Scranton, and the University of Delaware, for example, can also easily journey to look for the ghost of Benjamin Franklin at Independence Hall. 

Boston

Celebrate Halloween in Boston with tales of the macabre on the Ghosts & Gravestones trolley tour, where you’ll hear about the infamous Boston Strangler and other sinister events in the city’s past. Students from the University of Vermont, Dartmouth, and Brown University can explore the crypt at the historic Old North Church and discover colonial death practices—an experience both creepy and intriguing for history buffs.
