Ball State University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about Ball State University is their dining system. The meal plans are set up so that students lose money if they cannot make it to a dining location during the hours for each meal. There are set amounts of money for each meal that can only be spent during those meal times, and if a student doesn't spend all that money, it does not roll over. Students also lose money if they go home for the weekend because they are not there to spend their meal money.

There isn't really anything that frustrates me about my school, the only issue I have had is attending my school debt-free which I am confident I can do.

There have been several instances where I have been given the list of requirements for that class and purchased them online, and when classes start, the professor never even mentions the required item.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the dinning services. As an upperclassman I would really like to lower my meal plans but I cannot because as a resident it is required that I get 20 meals a week plan, every resident student is required to get this.

Getting into the classes you need. They put classes on these rotations so they aren't offered every semeste.

The most frustrating thing about my school is there is to much to do. I feel sometimes I can become overwhelmed with things to do and don't have enough time for school work..

It frustrates me that I feel I can't say no to all the activities because everyone else is doing them.

There really wasn't anything that was really frustrating. I guess one thing is the weights that some of the classes have. It will all depend on your major though if you will have classes with extreme weights.

I guess the most frustrating thing is the same thing at every other school, the homework.

By far, the most frustrating thing is the heavy drinking, but I really thin that you are going to find that anywhere, also it's not that hard to find other students who aren't interested in that.
