Ball State University Top Questions

The best thing about Ball State is the amount of resources that they provide on campus for students. There are also a lot of opportunities for students for jobs after college and learning experiences that might now be offered elsewhere.

The architecture. There is a sort of theme running through all the buildings, but most of them are unique, beautiful, and interesting. From ornate, beautiful Lucina, which was a residence hall decades ago; to Pruis Auditorium, allegedly designed to look like a grand piano; to the recently-constructed Letterman building, a soaring cathedral of a building made of glass, concrete, and odd angles; to Schafer Bell Tower in the middle of campus, Ball State is instantly recognizable just by catching a glance of any corner of campus.

The professors here at Ball State know what they are teaching you and want you to know that information as well. They don't mind answering questions to allow you to be successful once you leave the classroom. It is clear that for the most part, the professors are sincerely there to help you learn all that they are able to teach you. This is not a college where people are happy to see you fail. There are multiple support groups even outside of the staff!

How clean it is. I hate it when there is trash everywhere especially when touring for the first time. There is always something to do, no matter what the time. You don't have to be 21 to experience the college life. There are movies on the weekends and other events for those under 21 and those who don't care to drink.

There's a lot of activities to do on the weekend such as Late Night. Late Night is great! It's every Saturday night, and each night there's a different theme. Also each night, there are some different activities. There's always a dance floor to get the groove on. One time there was a caracature artist. She drew pictures for free! Those things at amusement parks run about $30-40. It's always a great way to have fun. Guests are only a $1 if they aren't a student at the school. Saturday nights are never boring.

The best thing about Ball State is the high level of academic learning offered.

The best thing about Ball State University is that it has many majors and minors at the school to choose from and you can take a few classes from many of the majors to see if you like any of them, if your not sure of what you want to major and minor in. They offer a class that helps you find out your interests and what you would like to do if you are undecided.

There is a large diversity of campus organizations right at your fingertips that you can easily find online. This diversity allows you to find your niche and express what your passionate about, despite it's location in a small Indiana town.

The school itself is a decent size, but everything is compacted so you dont have as far to travel

I have been at Ball State for 6 years now and have been able to witness changes across campus from day one. From landscaping, to new buildings (the David Letterman Building), and new dorms, Ball State has been changing in appearance, but also redefining education. The programs here have upmost respect and students will gain a quality education within every department. Ball State has always felt like "home," not too big and not too small. Walking around Ball State's campus, it is easy to run into a familiar face and fee comfortable.
