“I feel like there isn’t an age where it would be weird, but just more what your costume is. So, let’s say if a sixty-five-year-old woman dressed as a provocative nurse then that would be a little weird, but I feel like everybody is entitled to dress up as they want,” said Mia Alvarado, freshman undeclared major.
“I don’t know, it depends. I’ve gone trick or treating with my other twenty-something year old friends and it’s just weird when you go to the door that a five-year-old just left and then they look at you like ‘where’s the kid?’ Like, I am the kid. Final answer, costume wearing is okay but if you’re thirty don’t go trick or treating alone,” said Samantha Kwan, senior public health major.
“For me it’s never weird to go out in a costume. I don’t care if you’re five years old or if you’re fifty years old. I mean, to go out trick or treating as a fifty-year-old maybe, I could see that being a problem, but if you’re going to a party or something like that it’s all a part of the fun,” said Roman Devlin, freshman marine biology major.
“I don’t think there’s a weird age to dress up; my parents have been going to Halloween parties ever since they were fifteen and they’re forty now and they still like to dress up. I don’t think dressing up is weird, I think trick or treating is a different story. If you’re eighteen or nineteen unless you’re helping a kid go out then you shouldn’t go out. Age doesn’t matter for dressing up, I’m nineteen and I’ve been planning my Halloween costume for like three months now,” said Christina Hall, sophomore English major.
