i'm not afraid to ask questions here. i thought that going into college i'd feel too intimidated by my professors and refuse to talk to them. however, after my first chemistry class i had an actual conversation with my chemistry teacher and he was more than happy to answer all the questions i had about the lecture. they actually care about your grades and when they care, you care which causes you to learn a lot more.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
i always have something to do at ball state, whether it's going to CRU, being involved with hall council, or just going out with friends on the weekends. i'm never ever bored. i love everything about the campus, from bracken library to the food (we have the BEST college campus food). ball state isn't too big, but it's also not too small. it's honestly the perfect size.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
i can't tell you how much free stuff i recieved within the first few weeks of school. i think half my wardrobe consists of ball state tshirts that they were just handing out to anyone that walked by. with your meal plans, you get a lot of food for the 7.55 you're given. all the food is really cheap. you get a lot for your money, for example, access to an amazing new gym, free plays, and a bus that will take you anywhere in Muncie.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
get involved as soon as you can (preferably the first few weeks). you meet so many new and interesting people, people you never in a million years thought you'd be friends with. this isn't high school anymore, so you don't have to have your little cliches anymore. you're aloud to be your own person,choose to do whatever you want. think being in the ball room dancing club sounds fun? or humans versus zombies? go for it, chances are you're not going to be the only one to show up for the first meeting. =]
Which types of students will excel at your college?
ball state offers tons of different clubs, organizations, and even majors that will fit anyone's needs. i personally feel like just about anyone can come to ball state and feel at home. it's an easy place to feel accepted.
