Junior Julia Rosati was jubilant to have the fall weather back and watch the colorful leaves fall to the ground.
“My favorite thing about fall is the changing of the color of the leaves,” said Rosati.
The fall season brings different activities and festivities such as apple picking, pumpkin picking and corn mazes.
“My favorite fall activity is going to pumpkin patches with my family and friends,’’ said junior Megan Eugenio.
Fall may also be well-liked because of sports that are in this season.
“In the fall, watching and playing sports is something I do a lot in this particular season,’’ said sophomore Brendan O’ Donnell.
Fall in places such as Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York is known for its beautiful colors, and the leaves falling inspire people to get into the fall spirit.
“I enjoy the colder weather and the fall leaves changing colors before they fall down to the ground,’’ said sophomore Ella Giorgi.
Some students enjoy fall festivities with their friends.
“I love to go pumpkin picking with my friends in the fall,” said freshman Alexandra Schulz.
For some, fall is their favorite season because of the holidays and activities both on and off campus.
“Fall is for sure my favorite season, especially when you add the activities we do on campus,’’ said Giorgi.
Sacred Heart University holds many activities for students to get involved in the season, celebrating fall through the annual Fall Fest, a trip to Salem, Mass. and Halloween movies at the community theater in Fairfield.
“My favorite fall movie I saw at the theatre is ‘Halloweentown’ because it’s something that gets me in the fall spirit,’’ said freshman Donika Anty.
Other students have different classic Halloween movies in mind that they enjoy the most.
“I prefer ‘Ghostbusters’ as opposed to the horror movies because it gives a different Halloween vibe,” said Rosati.
Some students have a special reason to look forward to Halloween this year.
“I am looking forward to Halloween especially because my birthday is close to it,’’ said Eugenio.
Some college students still enjoy trick-or-treating on Halloween.
“I enjoy dressing up with my friends and trick-or-treating with my friends,” said Giorgi.
Many students have been enjoying the fall weather and views on campus, as well as the change in the environment.
“I love the fall foliage around the campus,” said Rosati.
“The leaves and cool weather are one of the things that get me interested in the fall, but wearing sweaters and coats with hoodies is also what I like,” said Eugenio.
Other students prefer the cold weather in the winter, while some prefer the opposite heat in summer.
“I like fall a lot but winter by far is my favorite season. It is even colder, and we get snow,’’ said O’Donnell.
“I like summer because in fall it gets chilly and I like the warm weather,” said Schulz.
