Uh well. I like little rubber bouncy balls and love tossing it up to catch it and bouncing it on a table. Would you think this would be ok in college? (Not IN class mind you) obviously when the teacher starts the lesson put the ball away but walking around on campus IMO I see no issue with tossing a ball around or would this look "weird"/strange/odd? Thanks!! !

I can't imagine it being an issue as long as it doesn't act as a distraction; and if your teacher asks you not to bring it to class anymore, then just simply stop taking it to class. :)

It would look pretty strange if you were by yourself. If you were doing it with other people I guess some people might get annoyed but it wouldn't looks as weird. If you don't care what people think of you and you enjoy tossing a ball around go for it. If you want to try to blend in and not cause unwanted attention than don't bring in the ball. I've never seen anyone doing that at my campus before, and people tend to consider anything different weird.

No problem at all. College isn't like public school, where you have to practically obtain a license even to go to the bathroom.

As far as what other people think of you, if they don't like it, they can get bent. At least in my experience, most college people are less judgmental of the "odd" folks than in high school.
