Here A Hottie, There A Cutie
When you go to Europe, do you want to see where famous dead guys are buried, or do you want to know where to pick up the hot locals? That's what we thought. Discover where the nightlife never ends, get the scoop on the most affordable places to stay and find cool places to hang and shop @ www.frommers.com/hangingout. The Hanging Out guide can also be purchased in Council Travel shops.

With over 40 European destinations and message boards to share tips with your fellow travelers, you'll want to hang with us! (And we can still tell you where to find the famous dead guys.)

Get Festive With Jack-O-Lanterns and Sauerkraut
Whether you're in scenic New England or rural Ohio, October is a great month for enjoying the best food, drink and activities that fall has to offer. Ever been to a real Oktoberfest? What about a giant pumpkin weigh-off championship, a pie-eating contest, or a cornfield maze? Find an Oktoberfest or pumpkin festival in your area and plan on a weekend of fun.

For more ideas on places to travel around the U.S. this month read our Halloween column in Smarter Living.

Win FREE Airfare For Study Abroad
You're going to study abroad anyway. May as well try to get something free out of it. Apply for a Spring 2002 Council Study Center program by November 1, 2001 and you'll be entered into a drawing to win FREE airfare. The money you save will get you some really swanky souvenirs. For more information, e-mail studyinfo@ciee.org, call 1-800-40-STUDY, or visit www.ciee.org/study.

Study Abroad Fairs
Coming to a campus near you: Council Travel will be making appearances at study abroad fairs all over the country. (Free stuff! Woo hoo!) To find information on the fair nearest you, check our website.

Free Shipping On Every Item!
There's a trip you've been wanting to take. We just know it. But you've been holding back because of those crazy shipping and handling charges, right? Well no more excuses! Order anything at counciltravel.com - backpacks, ISIC's, railpasses, anything that can be put in a box or an envelope - and we'll send it to you for FREE! The same applies to orders made through 1-800-2COUNCIL.

So get a jump on all the other students who will rush off to see their families, friends and significant others over the next holiday or three-day weekend, and book your trip now with these great fares. Remember, our tickets are FLEXIBLE... unlike your teachers during midterms and finals.

It's The Thought That Counts, But What In The World Were They Thinking?
You're tired of getting fuzzy pink bunny slippers and hits of the 80's CD's as gifts. So, if you were your parents what would you buy yourself? Well, besides a DVD player. No, not a new laptop either. Think hard. Something that might take you to a whole new world. Got it? Great. Now take our poll to see what everyone else wants.
