If you're like me, you think know that fall is the best season ever, and believe that fall and Halloween decorations are some of the most important decorations known to mankind. But, if you're also like me (a college student), you don't want to spend more money than you have to. So obviously, you're interested in decorating your dorm on a budget.

1. DIY or die

This is probably THE easiest way to decorate for cheap. Head on over to the nearest dollar store, pick up some craft supplies, and get artsy.

2. Dollar Store Decor

If you're not feeling like getting crafty, dollar stores also sell a bunch of super cheap fall and Halloween decorations.

3. Target, obviously

If you're looking to take things up a notch from the dollar store, Target (aka College Shopping Heaven) is your go-to. Hit up the dollar bins at the entrance, or, if you're serious about getting in the fall spirit, head on down to the Halloween aisle.

4. Pumpkins

No, I'm not talking about paying by the pound at the pumpkin patch. Most craft stores sell fake pumpkins for five to ten dollars, and yes, you can carve them.

5. Mummy it up

Probably the cheapest option on this list (and technically falling under the DIY category), all this requires is toilet paper, paper plates, tape, and a sharpie. Literally. That's it. Simply criss-cross the toilet paper across your dorm door (or closet door, or both), secure it with tape, use the sharpie to turn the paper plates into eyes, and tuck them into the paper. And there you have it. A Mummy Door.
