If you're wanting to get into greek life you are definitely able to do it here. While frats and sororities are not as large as some other universities, students still have the opportunity to be involved in one of these organizations and even live in a house with their brothers (not sisters, it's considered a brothel in Delaware Co.) . However, if you're like me, and can't live with more than 2 people in a small area, there are plenty of other activities and groups you can get into. When I lived in the dorms, there were gobs of organized events, more than I would have even cared to go to. The RA's here are really pushed to get their residents involved in something, anything, even if it's a pointless midnight breakfast during finals. If you decide to venture outside your dorm (which I suggest, they can get a little depressing) you have the constant option of going to university and professionally sponsored concerts, plays, and festivals. If you're more into low key events you can always hang out in 'the village', grab a hotdog from the famous Carter's hotdog stand, go see a comedy show at Be Here Now, or grab a coffee outside at the MT Cup. If you're broke, like a majority of us are, you can undoubtedly find a themed party or gathering at a students house, as we Cardinals are very resourceful! There could always be a slow or boring night here in Muncie, especially during the depressing winter, but the students here are very resourceful with their fun times!

I not exactly sure what the I think that would be the Friday movie night. Student can view movies that are not out in theaters yet every friday. It's a great thing to do on friday nights when your lonely.

There are several active organizations on campus. Personally, I am involved in Greek Life and it has been an amazing experience. When I lived in the dorms, I had a wonderful experience meeting so many new people and interacting with them. The people on my floor left their doors open so it was easier to get to know everyone. It depends on the people who live on your floor if they will leave their doors open or not; each year is always different. Athletics is a big part of Ball State and there are usually a lot of students who attend games and events. There are always speakers on campus, sometimes well-known speakers. There are also several performances put on by the university. They are always fun and interesting to attend! Every Saturday night is an event called "Late Night" where students go to have fun without alcohol. There are so many activities to choose from; you'll never get bored.

Your typical sports of football, basketball, and baseball are very common here. Even though they are three of the most common sports, there are a plethora of other sporting events you can choose to attend. With that said, Ball State provides students with free admission to all sporting events - this is a great opportunity! Since we are provided with this, we always have something that we can do. BSU also a club for almost anything you can imagine. If you happen to find something that is not already established, then you have the opportunity to start up a new club yourself! The dorm rooms are a great place to get to know others who are also new to this campus. As a freshman, they are the best choice you can make. Ball State also has great new dorms that are perfect for sophomores and upperclassmen. The new buildings are hotel-like and do not fit the feel of your traditional dorm room. In fact, I know of several individuals who have chosen to remain living on-campus all four years of their college career because the dorms are so convenient and nice to live in!
