Hello im a Highschool senior planning on attending in the fall and was going to live off campus with my parents. We currently don’t live near campus and was planning on moving to muncie before then. Am I correct in assuming that as long as we move before the semester starts I will be able to live off campus?
I’m a Purdue student who’s interning near the Muncie area and I am looking to sublet for 10 weeks during the summer but I’m having a hard time finding complexes that do short term leases or even students who would sublease their apartment for the summer. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Hey everyone, this is Joe, co-founder and CEO of Coursicle. We just launched a new feature that lets you keep track of your assignments on Coursicle, including automatic syncing of assignments from Canvas: https://imgur.com/a/p939bYp
We know not all professors are good about putting their assignments online so we thought it'd be helpful to have a centralized place where you can see all your assignments organized by class and when they're due, including the ones your professors don't post (you can add those manually to Coursicle): https://imgur.com/a/naP3xme
Here's a link to try it out: https://www.coursicle.com/bsu/?s=reddit
It's a very new product, so we'd love any feedback you have. We'd like to know what we'd need to change about the task feature that would get you to use it on a daily basis. All Reddit users who give it a try and comment below with feedback will get a free semester of premium. Thank you!
Hi, I’m for a roommate starting in February at The Haven (https://havenapts.com/photo-gallery/), which is about 5-10 minutes from Ball State's campus. I'm a female graduate student, so l'm hoping to find someone around the same age and of the same gender.
I'm looking for someone who is clean, quiet, and respectful of shared spaces. The only caveat is that l'd prefer no pets.
Rent is $750, with utilities typically ranging between $50-$70. If interested or for more details, please private message me ASAP. Thanks!
The renovated unit has 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms, however, it is considered a “Super 2.” The backroom can be used for storage and/or office purposes.
Me and my friend are upcoming freshmen, and were wondering if there’s anything we should know about housing exemptions? We’re planning on staying with our parents and don’t really care for staying on campus and were wondering if there’s anything outside of what BSU has written on the website about exemptions that would be important to know.
When do you put you would like a single dorm room on the form? Or do we wait till selection time.

Overwhelmed by organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with organic chemistry may be, I’m here to make sure you succeed.
Why work with me?
Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, my teaching style, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you!

I am a current Junior Graphic Design BFA at USI and am looking to transfer to BSU. The website is rather confusing and vague on how much I will expect to pay per year.
------------
How much did you guys end up paying for a year at BSU? The estimate I got online from USI was way more expensive than I actually ended up paying once I got there, and I have basically no grants and few scholarships (Im currently paying maybe $15K per year vs. their estimate of $25K). I assume BSU will be similar, as I have found university cost estimates are pretty much useless.
(I know this value may change depending on different factors, but I plan to buy the cheapest tier 2 housing and the 14 meal a week plan with the normal 15 credit hours a semester. Im talking standard student no fancy bells and whistles)
My son is going to ball state in the fall. I was a late-in-life college student. So, I never had the campus experience. I was hoping this group could give me any and all tips, advice, things to check out? How can I best help prepare him for the fall?
I’m trying to decide on a school to study music education my primary instruments are violin and clarinet (it’s between Here, bowling green state and Purdue Fort Wayne) and I’ve read a lot of great things about BSU but what is the bad it’s really close for all these schools and since no one I know at BSU has anything negative to say so I’m asking Reddit for help!
Hi! I applied to the SLP grad program and was curious if anyone knows a general timeline of when I should I expect a decision. Thanks!
Hey Yall, im a comedian coming to town on tour Saturday 1/18 on short notice to headline a show and I was wondering how do yall find out about local concerts and shows in the area?

Currently waiting to hear back from them for grad school and am curious to hear of others’ experiences. I’m a bit worried due to my 3.68 GPA from undergrad since I was told that’s not very good.
I just took the first quiz in my first class at BSU and I'm in trouble. My community college asked fact-based questions, no abstract thinking required. Help.

I have a super old Amazon Echo Dot (first gen) and I'm trying to connect it to the Ball State Wifi. I went to the devices portal and added my Echo, but am confused on how to connect it to the WiFi. I'm assuming I connect it to the bsuconnect with my personal password, but I can also input IP Address, Router, Subnet Mask, DNS 1, and DNS 2. I'm not super techy so any help is appreciated!
Are we due to get financial aid the Friday before classes start? I couldn’t remember! Thank you
I'm about to take my first class through BSU (online), when will the drop date be to get a full refund? I'm having surgery in a few weeks and may not be able to keep up with class but want to try (I'm old and still need A LOT of credits). Thanks!
So, im supposed to start my freshman year as an undergrad when classes start back up the 6th. I got a message from the health center a few weeks ago showing the required vaccines. I scheduled and appt with my pcp and got the vaccines. Well today, I turn my immunization records into the health center and they say i have a 6 month hold because i have the wrong brand of meningitis b vaccine? Im just confused like can I attend classes or can I not. Im already starting late so this would just top the cake. (Email of what health center said is attached)
i need to start seeing a success coach on campus so i was wondering if anyone had experience with them or had recommendations on which one to see
Anybody interested in living off-campus? It’s in the River Landing complex. I have a 2 BR 1 bath unit I need to sublet.

I’m looking into beacon hill as an apartment to lease next school year, and i was wondering overall thoughts on them. as well as if anyone knows how much utilities usually run.
If there are any goth girls staying in Muncie for part of winter break, please message me. I can’t stand going home. My parents always yell at me for my passion for goth girls. I don’t feel comfortable in my own home, and I know there are goth women out there who feel the same way. DMs are open.
Hello,
I am interested in pursuing my M.Arch at either Ball State or IU Bloomington. I am leaning more towards BSU because I've been told it's a quieter town and the studio community is really close. I'm just not aware if that relates to the Masters program outside of the 5 year B.Arch Cap thing. If anyone has done the 3 year masters program can you weigh in on your experience?
