What do students think of Family Weekend?

An influx of families is expected on campus for Ball State’s Family Weekend starting Oct. 23. Every fall the university invites students, faculty, staff and their families to campus for a weekend of festivities that include Halloween astronomy, Rock and Bowl, a 5K run/walk, a football game, a golf outing and much more.  But what do students think of Family Weekend?
