Major: Interior Design (This Major's Salary over time)
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.
