Many Eastern students will be decorating their rooms with spooky or silly Halloween decorations for contests or fun.
"Some girls decorated the lounge with pumpkins, bats, cats and spider webs," said Mallory White, a Carman Hall resident advisor.
Lincoln and Stevenson halls are taking decorating even further, giving their floors an extra special twist for trick-or-treaters.
Lincoln, Stevenson and Douglas complex director Matt Khoury said one floor has a pretend graveyard and another has a real-looking mannequin in a witch's costume stirring a cauldron.
"The students are taking (the decorating) very seriously and putting a lot of effort into it," he said.
"They are doing it for the kids and the community."
Douglas Hall will not be sponsoring any Halloween activities because of time conflicts, said associate residence director Jason Taylor.
Greek Court will also be hosting Charleston trick-or-treaters in addition to the residence halls.
Its program, "Ghosts, Goblins and Greeks" will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. with various activities throughout the court.
Bob Dudolski, the director of Greek Life, said several hundred people usually attend this annual event.
Every Greek house, even off-campus houses, will each be handing out a different type of candy, he said.
