Ball State University Top Questions

The drugs. Why? Simply because I don't partake of them. I don't want to. I've seen what they can do to people and I don't want that in my life. You're going to find them in whatever college you go to, but that doesn't mean you have to like it.

There are two main issues that I have is more with any college or university and not specifically with Ball State University. The cost to attend college has been become so expensive that it is cost prohibitive for many people. Additionally my college expenses are mine to repay, so students have to be prepaired to pay debt for many years. Secondly students must be prepaired to put morework in than they every have before. I was told three hours of studying for each classroom hour. Prepare for the hardest scholastic work of your life.

I havn't had any poor experiences at Ball State

The worst part of BSU is the lack of dedication with some of the professors.

There are very few negative things about Ball State that I can actually think of. The only complaints I have are of the people that drive their motorcycles around at night and make a ridiculous amount of noise. Ball State can really do nothing about that so I can't place blame for that upon the school. I guess that would have to be the worst thing about Ball State.

Very clique oriented. Anyone outside of freshmen and greek life are not very welcoming of new friends.

The area. Central Indiana, 1 hour away from Indianapolis, is not ideal.

The worst thing about this campus is the lack of things to do in Muncie. There are a limited amount of things to do in Muncie once you leave campus.

The worst thing would be the surrounding area simply because there is not a lot to do in Muncie off campus, evenchoices of places to eat are slim.

The worst thing about Ball State University is that it is not a very diverse school. I can tell that they are working to change that, but the school is predominantly white. I think they should try harder to make the school more diverse and make other races less intimidated to apply to attend the school.

I don't consider anything there bad at all!

There's really slim to no diversity, which doesn't really seem to match with the school's emphasis on diversity and real-world experiences. But, I guess it's representative of Indiana as a whole.

Honestly, I feel that the on-campus living could use improvement in a lot of areas. The dining system is basically set up in such a way that it's nearly impossible for students NOT to lose money on their meal plans. Hall policies are also not very friendly to individual room situations, especially for students left alone when their room mate moves out or withdrawals from the university. Lastly, the overall cost of on-campus living, in my opinion, is much too high when you consider the overall quality (or lack of) of certain facilities.

The worst thing about Ball State is the fact that it is not extremely diverse. I came from a high school with very minimal diversity and I was hoping to get more of it in College. Diversity is extremely low on campus. Ball State is currently trying to change this problem to attract more diverse students.

The worst thing about Ball State University is the financial aid program here. The scholarship packages offered here are biased towards certain majors and most of the scholarships are given to minorities or people who live in Indiana. It does not seem like financial need or academic esteem plays much of a factor for a student here that needs a scholarship. They seem to help the incoming freshmen a lot, but do not help the students who are already undergraduates very much.

The dorm situation. My dorm is very old and being taken down next year. Old and outdated.

The worst thing about Ball State is dining plans. Dining is expensive and unfair.

The worst thing about the school is that during the winter, the weather can be unbearable and the walks to classes can seem longer than normal.

The worst thing about my school is that it is extremely competetive. I am in the field of Nursing and it is extrmely difficult to keep up with the other students.

The one aspect of Ball State Universtiy that I do not like is the cost. BSU is reasonably priced, but students are charged for all sporting events. Instead of having tickets for sale and students being able to choose what sporting events they would like to pay for, the cost of admission for all events is included in the tuition as a dedicated fee and this is unfair for students who are not sports fans.
