Your Center for Events on Campus

The Bone Student Center serves as the hub of student life at Illinois State University and a landmark resource to the Bloomington/Normal community. With outstanding shows, great service and reasonable rental rates, the campus and local community turn to the Bone Student Center for social, recreational, cultural, educational and professional activities. As a community gathering place, the student center is an exciting environment that links people to people and truly serves as the "Gateway to Campus" at Illinois State.

Explore the Twin-Cities

There will be so much activity on campus you might not ever want to leave, but the Bloomington-Normal community offers a wide variety of diversions from your everyday routine — shopping centers, art festivals, crosstown biking trails, Shakespeare in the park, etc.
