In the middle of the sprawling uptown Normal area, there’s a school often passed with little appreciation. Illinois State University is known for its well kept buildings and beautiful quad, which is only magnified by the fall season. ISU’s lush campus is beginning to transform with the changing weather, and for many it is a time to look forward to.

Leslie Ringger, a former ISU student reflects on her experiences on campus during the fall. “As an art major, I spent many hours in the studio and when it turned fall outside it became more bearable to constantly be on campus. It was nice to be able to take breaks outside in the crisp, refreshing weather…and our campus is beautiful in the fall.” Each sidewalk and path is quickly being covered by falling leaves and the familiar throngs of squirrels are busier than usual. Students willingly take advantage of the campuses vast, outside areas by playing sports, which is mostly Frisbee, studying and simply sunbathing.

With summer’s heat becoming a distant memory, students and professors alike can only hope the cooler weather lasts. Although the fall season does mean winter’s wrath is nearing, the colorful, year-round beauty of ISU’s campus is worth the drop in temperature
