Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Ask a Ball State student, and they’ll tell you they’re happy to be where they are. Sure, there’s Parking Services to deal with, UPD crack-downs, and a ban on kegs, but these drawbacks pale when compared to the friends and memories students say they’ve acquired at BSU. Although recent policies threaten to end the party-school reputation, Ball State still has a strong social scene that continues to build friendships most students would be unwilling to give up.

Depending on your major, courses can be extremely trying. Be prepared for some late nights—especially if you’re interested in architecture, nursing, or journalism as a major. Whatever your field of study, it is important to focus and remember what you’re here for.

The Great Break from Home

Hey, for being my first home away from home, I love it. It's like I'm getting a since of the real world, while still having that little shield of "Hey, I am still a Student!"
