I hope your computer crashes every single time you need to take an exam on campus and when you take it to get repaired it miraculously works again and they still charge for the consult.
I hope you get a shitty prof that makes assignments due at odd hours of the day and doesn't notify you when they post an assignment due that same day.
I hope that when it starts snowing, that your socks get wet.
I hope that your bike is stolen and when you get a new one that you like more it breaks in a week.
I hope that you get covid and afterwards you can taste or smell anything.
If you are parking your car. You will be directed down the yellow path. If you are dropping off or picking up. You will drive along the blue path. Where I have circled in blue is the pick up location. The area circled in green. Is where the shuttle will be picking up and dropping off.
i wanna find somewhere that’s both reliable and not a terrible price.
I'm a senior set to graduate next semester as long as I take ECON 424. My GPA is currently 2.6 possibly will be 2.7 at the end of this semester. Any classes that are pretty easy and might get me closer to 3.0?
Hello! I’m a master’s student working on my thesis about how university students' beverage habits change over time. The survey is just 5 minutes, and I’d be grateful for responses from Ball State alumni. Your input would really help me out! Thank you so much! Here’s the link: Survey for Ball State.
on monday we need to move our cars out of the stadium for the football game on tuesday (why is there a football game on a tuesday?). looking on maps at the fairgrounds, there isn’t a parking lot? so we are all parking in the grass?
If you get an apartment, can you still get the plan meal separately charged to your account?
who is hiring off campus?? any recommendations/ good places to work?? or stay away from?? please and thank you!!!
I've been living here since August (the stop after frat row on the blue loop) and I've had nothing but awful expirences. The worst one being today. We have been complaining about our dishwasher for months; had it "fixed" 3 times. Except it's never fixed. It smells bad and drains soiled water from I don't even know where into the bottom of it. It recently starting drawing our sink water into it. I don't when know how that's possible. It's made out entire complex smell like something died in our apartment and has been borderline unliveable between the constant stench, inability to wash dishes, and the flooding. Oh yeah, it's also flooding the apartment.
This is already on top of the clearly visible mold, unusable windows, broken porch screen, trying to double charge for gas and electric, broken bath tub, and blinds that fell out of the wall and cut my dogs face. We only chose this place because they are one of the only places we could find that allowed pets and now I feel unsafe for myself, roommates, and pets.
I don't know what to do. Does anyone have similar expirences or know what next steps to take. We ha e videos, I just don't want to post them here in case it would ruin my claim.
What’s up, BSU? I’m a totally average bass player in Muncie looking to play with like minded musicians. I’m primarily down to play with/for singer songwriter types or pop rock (think The Struts, Blink-182, etc.) bands. Easy to get along with and able to contribute to songwriting where needed. Respond here or DM me if interested!
I am a 27 year old genderfluid/nonbinary person (they/them/theirs) (pronouns) and I need help with splitting rent and utilities as I only live off 846.00 a month from SSDI on the 3rd or 4th of each month. I do have a part time job at Cousin Vinny’s Pizza on McGalliard located at the northwest plaza. I am looking to sign a lease with campus rentals or village promenade and I do not currently have a car but I am working on getting my learner’s permit
Burner account for obvious reasons. I’m a freshman at Ball State right now living in Kinghorn and am very upset with the lack of goth girls at this school. It seems like all of the girls here are just interested in getting drunk every weekend and listening to Taylor Swift (Who doesn’t even make good music btw). Not much variety of women at this school and it’s honestly disappointing, I was hoping for more. I know for a fact that there are many men here that feel the same way as I do about the shortage of goth mommies at this school. Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places, but based on what I’ve seen, there are barely any goth girls in Muncie. I have been strongly considering transferring because of this issue, so if any of you know where I can meet goth girls on this campus or near it, please message me. Thanks!
The online MS CS seems like a good option for me but, I cannot find any reviews online. Can someone tell me about their experience in the program?
Hey everyone. Im looking to sublet an apartment from Jan 2025 to March or April 2025. If anyone is subletting or knows someone subletting please let me know.
has anyone ever gotten out of an "improper display" ticket? basically you couldn't see my plate cause i wasn't thinking about it in that moment and i already used my oopsie pass. if you've gotten out of one what did you say/do?
Hi! My sister is in the area for a short while, and we'd like to tour BSU tomorrow (Oct 8, 2024) but there are no official tours available. If you have a free hour in the afternoon and would like $50, we'd love it if you could show us around and talk to us about what the student experience is like! She is interested in speech language pathology, musical theatre, and the honors program - so if you're involved with any of those we'd be extra excited to meet you.

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of going to Balls state or a few other Uni’s in the Indiana area like IU Indianapolis, or Purdue, I’m thinking of going into radiography which is a 2 year associate degree. Does anyone have any experience with the Radiography program in Ball state? As I’m new to America in general so any info would be helpful.
Hi!!! me and my best friend is going to the DPR concert in chicago and was wondering if anyone was also going to see if we could carpool together and hopefully hang out at the concert :) If anyone has any questions, id be so happy to answer, but yeah thank you :)

I’m a female junior in high school, and I’m trying to decide which of these colleges would be best for me
Im wanting to get my septum pierced soon, anyone have any good places near campus? (especially if you've also had a septum done there)
Nothing serious, I don't know any music theory whatsoever so don't feel intimidated at all. I just enjoy playing the guitar/singing and want to make music. I enjoy 90s/alternative rock. Comment or hmu if you're interested!
hey guys, was wondering if there was a community minecraft server for ball state? i’d love to meet people in the community but i’d rather not join any competitive gaming groups as that’s not really my thing; i’d rather play in a more casual setting for enjoyment and meeting friends online. anything i’ve seen about a server for ball state is outdated and doesn’t work. anyone know of anything?
So I live in town.
For the first month of classes I tried MITS. It was unreliable, often the connecting bus I needed left before my bus got to the MITs station, so I was stuck for 30 mins and was late to a lot.
Last week I gave up on the bus, got my car working again(it was barely working before classes started and then sat over a month, it needed work), got a parking permit, and was ready for this week.
Today I showed up 15 mins early and spent 45 mins driving from commuter lot to commuter lot searching for a space, and every lot had several other cars circling. Yesterday was fine, but my only class was in the afternoon and I assume it’s less busy than morning.
Is there a less popular commuter lot I don’t know about? As far as I can tell on the map it’s the ones by Washington and the ones by the stadium, and that’s it. The ones by the stadium also seem smaller in person than on the map…
I almost parked in the village but there were signs all over about only parking if you were a patron and I didn’t want a ticket.
Guess I’m going 2 hours early so I don’t miss lab and fail chem.
Hey all, I’m not a Ball State student (I go to Ivy Tech) but I’m just posting here looking for any clubs or groups I could join as someone who lives in Muncie without any local friends to spend time with and indulging in hobbies like gaming (both video games and board and tabletop games). I’m still pretty new to the area and lacking a lot of connections here so if there’s any groups of dorks like me who are local to Muncie/Yorktown please let me know!
Probably like the 20th person to ask about bus routes, but oh well. Freshman here, which buses loop to target? I feel like the Walmart ones are all I ever see on campus.
