The town is poor aside from Ball State University and they are unable to plow their roads often during the winter and unable to fix the tremendous amounts of potholes.

The most frustrating thing about Ball State is that sometimes the freshman advisors will have you "in a go around" to try and get you to the right person. Also, sometimes the older dorms are not in the best shape. They are alright for living in, but they have their inconveniences, which are too numerous to name.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that the buses are too small. They run often but the buses are always crammed.
Sarah
In my opinion, the most frustrating thing is most definitely the on-campus living policies, as I referred to in the previous question.

The most frustrating thing about Ball State is the fact that the Office of Financial Aid is unwilling or unavailable to work with students to find money for school. Not all students who don't qualify for federal aid have all of their school paid for and it would be really nice to have the opportunity to speak with someone would could point me in the direction of financial aid and do so quickly.

The most frustrating thing here at Ball State would be the dining halls when it is rush hour for lunch or dinner. There are ample places to eat on campus but if you go during the rush hour it can take a long time to get your food. Which if you only have a short period of time between classes it can be really frusturating.

The most frustrating thing about Ball State University is the lack of equipment in the science labs. I am in an analytical chemistry lab right now and there are only two spectrophotometers available for a whole class of people. This limits not only my experience in the lab, but also everyone else's because we have to work in groups of three or four in order to get the lab done. I feel as though I would have more experience and a better education if I was able to figure the equipment out by myself.

There are not a lot of things that get me flustered while attending Ball State University. One negative is that the drivers in Muncie are not always the nicest and never seem to watch where they are going causing walking around campus to be quite dangerous. People have to be aware of their surroundings in order to stay safe while getting to and from class by crossing roads. Also, classes can sometimes be stressful but Ball State is full of great faculty members that are more than willing to help students with any problems.

The most frustrating thing about Ball State is the number of people trying to get in to the same class as you and, the school not offering enough courses for that class. For certain majors, there is a strict schedule of classes that you need to take and if you get off track with that schedule you are likely to fall behind and wont be able to graduate on time. A few classes are only offered once and those are the ones you cannot get into when several students need the same class.

The most frustrating aspect of Ball State is the surrounding city. Muncie outside of campus has little to offer students. While there are some shopping and entertainment venues, they are limited and of poor quality.
