Ferris’ Big Rapids campus is set in the heart of West Michigan – in a local community with a small-town feel but big-city resources. With many local businesses and services specifically catering to Ferris students, you are welcome in this home-away-from-home where many area highlights are close to campus.
Students are only a few blocks away from a vibrant downtown area, great outdoor recreation and a hospital recently ranked in Thomson Reuters’ top 100. With a variety of entertainment options including a scenic 18-hole golf course, White Pine Trail access, and river tubing or kayaking, you can always find something to do right around the corner. Check out a recent Ferris State TV episode about some popular local activities.
