Going Places

Is it just me or is everyone going somewhere every weekend? Whether they are going home or going to a different university, I'm finding that every weekend an abundance of students are fleeing campus. I'll admit it, I'm guilty of it too. I was obligated to go home a couple weekends, and i chose to go to IU a few weeks ago. So why is it that Ball State seems like a ghost town most weekends? It is in great "roadtrip" driving distance  for both IU and Purdue, which are much larger and widely considered more "fun". Because Ball State lies in these shadows, students are more likely to chose to go home too, to see friends and family.
