A crazy Halloween can turn any college into a top party school. Probably one of the best and biggest Halloween parties out there, happens at UC Santa Barbara, where people fill the streets of this college town located on the beach. Other Colleges known for having insane Halloween parties include: Ohio University and East Carolina University.

The one requirement of a Halloween party is that you must dress up. Now many of you may have been planning your costume for months, which is good knowing you'll be prepared for one of the biggest events of the year. Some of you though, either have been slacking off or are waiting for the last second to throw your costumes together.

Perhaps some of these Halloween Costume Ideas can get your creativity flowing, so you can think of your own original idea. Most of these costumes can be thrown together pretty quickly and will fit any budget.

• Average Joe

  Simple. Wear an "Average Joe's" T-Shirt. Pretty easy costume and fairly cheap, especially if you went the route I did and make your own (A process that involves a plain yellow shirt, red spray paint and making an "Average Joe's" template). As an added bonus, you can carry around your own dodge ball and throw it at party goers who annoy/piss you off.

  

• Pimp

  Halloween classic that is easy to throw together. Also good for those "Pimps n Hoes" parties.

• Beer Man

  Guaranteed life of the party. Everybody loves the man with all the beer, especially at festivities such as this.

  

• Hugh Hefner

  Props include a Corn Cob pipe, robe and a newspaper under your arm. Wearing a robe can make your night very comfortable, plus all those girls dressed as Playboy Bunnies will flock to you all night long.

  

• Bum

  You are going to being drinking anyway, so why not put a 40oz in a paper bag and call it good?

  

• Toga

  Frat classic made popular by John Belushi.

  

• Bible Salesman

  

Of course, the best costumes are those that are unique, these are just ideas. You should really try coming up with your own idea. I don't want to see a bunch of Average Joe's walking around on Halloween ;)

George Washington is the most expensive college

Higher tuition puts more pressure on parents trying to finance their son or daughter's education, as well as with students, who are forced to pull out larger student loans. While student loans are considered "good debt" because of it's investment, the price of college is still too high for most students.

Most people want to receive a high quality education, and many will pay what ever it takes to get the best. However, Just because a college is the most expensive, doesn't necessarily make it one of the best colleges. In fact, some argue that some of the schools on this list of expensive colleges are just using their high cost as a marketing ploy, thinking there are people out there who want the best and believe they have to pay up to get that.

Some of these tuition fees are pretty outstanding, considering the median tuition at a four-year school is about $7,490.

The most expensive colleges are just about all in the northeast corner of the United States, being Ivy League type schools or fine liberal art schools in the New York area that boast low student-teacher ratios. Of course, most of these expensive colleges are private, as tuition is usually twice as much at a private school.

These rankings are based on 2007-2008 tuition rates.

Remember though, not all students are paying this much, as many of these schools have excellent financial aid programs.

Highest Tuition:

Brown University

Of course this list does not take into context room and board. Where your college is located can be a huge price difference. Bigger, more populous cities demand higher rent and expenses.

So, taking that into context, here are the most expensive colleges based on Tuition and Room and Board combined for one school year.

Highest Total Cost:

Data based on tuition data published on specific College websites as of September 10, 2007.

This list covers traditional 4-year Colleges, therefore may not include some schools, such as Bard College at Simon's Rock since it is geared toward students who have completed the 10th or 11th grade, but have not received a high school diploma. A majority of students at Simon's Rock transfer to larger institutions after receiving an associate's degree after two years.

Other non-traditional schools include Landmark College which provides a liberal arts education to kids with learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Tuition at Landmark College is now listed at over $40,000.

Four little (well big actually) words that are going to get The Collegian, Colorado State University's student newspaper in a lot of trouble.

Here are the best party schools:

• WVU - West Virginia is almost always at the top of every Top 10 Party College list. This place is insane!

Typical Couch Burning at WVU



• UCSB (Santa Barbara) - Right on the beach. Great Halloween parties. Located in Isla Vista, Del Playa Drive is where its at!
• ASU - Hot weather + hot babes = hot parties. Tempe also has some cool local bars, including The Library and Dos Gringos Trailer Park Bar.
• San Diego State - Surf, study and party. Being in San Diego is the perfect place for all three, plus being close to Mexico is a bonus.
• Washington State University - aka "Wazzu". Nothing to do in this small town of Pullman but drink beer.
• Wisconsin-Madison - Another beer city with a huge bar scene.
• Indiana-Bloomington - Bloomington is a small college town with a ton of students always looking to party. Its big event is the Little 500, which is a bicycle race modeled off of the Indy 500.

Classes on the Dover campus of Delaware State University were canceled for Friday, Sept. 21 because of an early morning shooting at the university that left two students wounded.

Delaware State University Campus

At approximately 12:54 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 21, the Delaware State University Police Department was notified of an incident in which two students were shot on campus near Memorial Hall. A single male suspect is being sought, but has not yet been apprehended.

The investigation is continuing and the Dover Police Dept is providing security on campus to ensure safety on and around the campus. The Criminal Investigation Unit is also providing support with the criminal investigation.

The male student and female student who were shot were transported to hospitals within the state. The male student is in stable condition, however, the female student’s injuries are considered serious.

More on this as it develops. See Video Below:

After the UCLA taser incident and the University of Florida taser incident, it's clear campus police can go too far sometimes.

Until things change, here is what you must do to avoid future confrontations with police on campus:

1. Don't exercise your freedom of speech.
2. Understand that you have no rights whatsoever.
3. Understand that the campus security guard/police is not in a correct state of mind, as he is abusing his authority.
4. Don't Question Authority, no matter how wrong and out of place they are.
5. Don't ask controversial questions or be politically opinionated.
6. Note that after initial Confrontation, if you say "you will leave the premises", you will continue to be tasered.
7. Even after being pinned down and restrained by campus police, means you will probably be tasered.
8. Note that a campus officer will make any little incident worse than it is and escalate the incident.
9. If it is a campus "security guard", expect an abuse of power.
10. Note that if officers do remove you from the premises, you will be pulled, dragged, thrown to the ground and tasered while trying to handcuff you to make it appear that you are resisting.
