Where we all love to spend our time: Bracken at Ball State University

Throughout the week, students that attend Ball State University can go to the library at almost all hours of the day to study and get information for any schoool project. The University Library is open until 3 in the morning on sunday through thursday. This gives students a place to go to concentrate and study for exams in a quiet environment.
