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.

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 anything i’ve seen about a server for ball state is outdated and doesn’t work.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 will be attending bsu in the fall for my nursing prerequisites and i am a person who does very poorly around people and i need a space to myself to be able to maintain myself. i have some chronic mental and physical health issues and i do have a 504. would the 504 be enough for me to qualify for a single dorm?
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.
My brother (Comp Sci major) and I (Graphic Design major) will both be juniors next school year and are looking to rent an apartment. We're searching for a potential third roommate and would be happy to connect with anyone interested in joining us. If anyone here is also searching for folks to house with, I'd love to chat and see if we'd be a good fit. Any pointers or tips would be appreciated as well.
This might be a long shot, but does anyone know how I could get in touch with the people that were driving shuttles last night from the McKinley parking garage to the auditorium during The Princess Bride screening and Q&A? There was a young man with long blonde hair that was an absolute saint and drove my husband and myself back and forth and I was so embarrassed I didn't have any cash to tip him so I'd like to see if I can find him and tip him properly. TIA
Hello everyone!
I am an international student with the hope of studying in Ball State University fall 2025. I have a question concerning the 100$ deposit for enrollment.
First of all, at what point can I apply for graduate assistantship? Is it before or after I pay the enrollment fee?
I ask this because I don’t want to pay and later on not get the position as a graduate assistant. Also the school requires transcript evaluation which also cost quite a lot of money! I just want to be sure before I invest time into the application
Thank you
who else is gonna be watching 👀

There is a mental health crisis at Ball State stemming from a high-control group of churches referred to as The Network & the one recruiting students & young professionals here is Oaks Church.
They especially target freshmen, transfers, foreign students, and anyone alone or new to the city. They use students 2 lure students & young professionals to lure people from work, avoiding "churchy" language. They tie you in relationally via LOVE-BOMBING & ISOLATION tactics. They hide their abusive controlling practices and beliefs, & their Network President is S.M.@Joshua Church in Austin, who SA'd a child.
The fallout has been massive: derailed careers, financial & labor exploitation, controlled member-only dating, no autonomy, isolation, shunning, ex-communication, cutting off family, and a mental health crisis resulting in suicide.

Anyone who has recently lived in the Haven could you give me an estimate on how much electric is per month in a super 2? I know it’s based on usage but I’m looking at reviews and everyone is saying it’s crazy expensive per person
I think that there should be a Clash of Clans clan. If there is one let me know!
Does Ball State not use the transloc app for the bus routes anymore? I'm never able to load routes on the app now. If so, does anyone know why?
Does anyone know of any band practice spaces in Muncie or would be willing to host our band for a rate?

I’m an atheist, and have been rather annoyed by the amount of Christian organizations trying to berate strangers into joining them. I have nothing against their beliefs, I just wished they had the common sense to realize when to leave people alone. I’ve seen at least four or five distinct Christian/Catholic organizations at Ball State, but haven’t seen a single Jewish or Muslim one, let alone Buddhist. I know for a fact that not everyone here is Christian, and yet those groups seem to get all the attention. Is Ball State really as Christian-leaning as it appears, or does it actually allow people with other beliefs to organize?
I read on the Ball State website that some frats rush in the fall and some rush in the spring "formally". I'm not sure what formally means. Are there differences in the types of frats that rush in the fall? When Do the more social frats like frats on frat row usually rush?
I'm a freshman, and even though the semester just started, I'm struggling to make friends. My roommate and I don’t share many interests, and I haven’t clicked with anyone at the club call-outs I’ve attended. I really enjoy running and working out, but I haven’t found a workout partner yet, which has been disappointing. I'm feeling lonely to the point where I’m even considering transferring to another university where a couple of my high school friends are. Any advice on what I should do or how I can improve my situation here?
Edit: Thank you for the advice, everyone. I probably just need to put myself out there more. I was surprised by how much harder this seems compared to high school. I’ll definitely consider joining a frat, as it seems like a good way to meet new people.

I am a prospective nursing major next fall, going directly into the school of nursing, not my prerequisites. I was wondering if anyone here had experience being a nursing major and doing marching band. Is it possible to balance the two? Do clinicals make it impossible? Thanks!
I just wanna know what time they stop serving them fire breakfast sandwiches
So I was wondering how do we pay from our ebill and what estimate to pay per month? Do financial tell us how much every month?
