Ball State University Top Questions

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

Declan

I have problems with flat places.... this place is like flat... no hills.....!

Jennifer

Not much really

Jeanette

I wish I would have known how many options the school offered, because Ball State has a degree for just about anything. High school didn't make me aware of the fact that I could go to school for anything my heart desired to learn.

Bianca

I wish I would've known it was so hard to find a job off campus. It's a small, not so wealthy town with a huge school plopped in the middle.

Raquel

You are on your own at this point. You will have the support of your family and friends, but as far as responsibility, it will be up to you to make sure that you are taking care of business. There is alot of temptation, be careful not to give in. Do not get credit cards, and they will be offered to you all the time!

Brittany

People put so much stress on students that are graduating. People scare prospective college students because they say the change will be difficult. Maybe it is because I grew up in this area, but I had no problems adjusting at all.

Amy

What it was like living in the dorms.

Shanna

That the big event before orientation for freshmen would completely change how many friends you make along the way.

Zach

I wish that I would have known that the major of elementary education at BSU was challenging. It has been a great experience thus far, but I have had my ups and down when it comes to working through my major. That is probably the only thing that I can honestly come up with!

Joe

Really just more about college itself and i wish i would have known that I wouldnt see most of my friends from highschool anymore and basically have to start over with friends.
