I started out at Ball State and was disappointed, so I transferred after my first semester. First off, Muncie is a complete dump. They don't show that in all the pretty university viewbooks. It is totally backwater and redneck. Second off, a lot of people come and go here, they score easy grades their first year and then transfer to Purdue or IU. The design program here is good, but it doesn't have the name recognition or prestige of Purdue or IU. I visited both of them, plus the Art Institute of Indianapolis, and chose Purdue because its really well funded and the facilities are top notch. BSU is a good starter school, if you go home every weekend, but don't stay longer than a year cause your credits may not all transfer.

I dont personally like the living situation... I think they should work better on pairing people together... but besides that the actual academics of the school is really good... Ive thought about transferring because of my living situation... but i think the actual academics are way too good to leave

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL, especially if you're going into the art department, and definitely if you plan on doing Animation. The school is financially insecure, the classes are over booked, and you'd be lucky to get out in under 4 years. The head of the Art department, Barbara Giorgio, plays favorites. Which is good if she likes you, but if you'd don't agree with her, be in school wise or just agreeing with the media she enjoys, you'll have semester to look forward to of getting kicked out of the classes you need, backed with with bullsh*t excuses. I had to change my major because she refused to let me take my classes, but gladly handed them out to other students. And still, she makes random excuses about why I cannot take classes that are on the suggested plan of study that she claims to follow to a tee. I plan on transferring at the end of the semester. Hurray for thousands of dollars down the drain!
