Ball State SUCKS. No school spirit, shitty classes, boring atmosphere. What else is there to say?

Question
I am an English Education major and absolutelyNot so brightEducation
I am an English Education major and absolutely love this school. I love that most of the BSU staff is friendly and approachable. Each classroom is different according to what the professors want, but most of the time, it's fun! If anyone decides to attend this school, some of the students are crazy but the campus is overall fun.

Question
I am a second year student at Ball St.BrightArchitecture
I am a second year student at Ball St. University, I am transferring to Indiana University this coming fall and I cannot wait. My time at Ball St. was a joke. This college is far from a typical college. If you are looking for a great college experience do not attend Ball State. Ball State is just a big high school. When I came here as a freshman I had this mind-set that no one really knew anyone, and that was completely false. Everyone that comes to this college already has a half a dozen friends attending. Also, everyone that is at this University is from a small town in Indiana, well I guess some people are from Indy. A lot of the kids that come to this university are not to bright either, they are all the kids that got turned down from IU and Purdue. I cannot stand this college, I won't even call this place a college, oh and the city of Muncie is a joke. It is one of the worst cities in the midwest. If you want to go to a real school either go to IU or Purdue, I do not mention Notre Dame because anyone reading this is from Ball State and wound not stand a chance in getting into there. The only reason one should ever come to this place is if they are majoring in architecture or landscaping. But I would go to LSU or something that is just as good and you will get a hell of a lot more out of your four years of college. The biggest joke of this college is actually thinking it is a college. I would not recommend anyone attending this University. The bottom line is that Ball State Sucks!!!
