Larry Bird is most closely associated with Indiana State University , where he starred for three seasons and finished his college career.

He actually had a winding college path. Bird first enrolled at Indiana University in Bloomington on a basketball scholarship but left after less than a month because the big-campus environment felt overwhelming. He then briefly attended Northwood Institute (a small local junior college in Indiana) before finally enrolling at Indiana State University in Terre Haute in 1975. At Indiana State, he became a national star, leading the Sycamores to the 1979 NCAA title game and graduating with a degree in physical education.
