Some students leave campus every weekend to head home

Every Friday, freshmen Samantha Higginbotham and Stacie Stevenson know the drill. As soon as Higginbotham finishes her last class of the day, she’s off to start her weekend back in her hometown of Noblesville. Meanwhile, Stevenson makes plans to get together with other friends who are staying on campus for the weekend. Although many students choose to stay on campus for the weekend, Higginbotham is not alone. Every Friday, some campus residents, equipped with their suitcases they haven’t bothered to unpack from the previous weekend, make their way to the Scheumann Stadium parking lot to load up their cars. By late Friday afternoon, campus is noticeably less populated.
