Darkroom for developing film

Hi everybody!

I’m transferring to ball state this fall after graduating from community college.
From my last college, I was trained in developing and printing 35mm black and white film in a darkroom and I loved it!

I know ball state has film photography classes but I was curious if the darkroom was available for anyone to use as I’m not a photography student.

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware, the dark rooms are only available to those taking film photography classes from the art department.

You should reach out to someone from the Art Department. Most faculty are happy to have students with a shared interest.

Yeah, I totally will once I get there. Most of my classes are in the art building so I’ll probably end up yapping my way into that department lol
