Ball State University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Carly

Ball State is lacking in explanation of graduation responsibilities for their students. I often had to figure out required responsibilities on my own, which was stressful and not very efficient. I understand everything that was expected of me now, but a trial and error process is not always the most conducive enviroment for success.

How to study for college classes.

Before I came to Ball State University I would have liked to know what clubs/sports were available and what other activities there were on campus.

Michelle

I wish I would have known the clubs and activities you could join. By the time I got to school and got settled in many of the clubs were not accepting new members because the deadline date had passed. I wish I could have joined a club before starting school so that way when I started I could have began immediately making new friends.

Sarah

I wish I would have taken more placement tests

Chris

I wish I would have known how important it was to really focus on classes in the beginning instead of focusing on my job and my friends more. I also wish I would have learned how to study more effectively.

Ginger

How to study better on my own

Megan

That laundry was $1 to wash + $1 to dry... each load.

Tabitha

I wish I would have known a little bit more about the food choices before I had chosen a meal plan. I also would have like to know more about our academic advisors and how to change one if we needed to.
