Reviews/opinions on Ball State University?

I have spent some time online trying to read reviews and get a feel for this school however all the reviews I can find seem to be written by 20 year old college students who are more concerned with their social life than academics so they are not helpful at all. Yeah lets not choose a school because its in a smaller town!

So if anyone has attended here and can offer some insight to what its like please let me know!

Thanks

Allie,

I researched Ball State's Bachelor of General Studies program back in 2008 in this thread. At the time, Ball State limited credit by exam to 63 credit hours and required that you complete 30 of your final 40 credits with the school. If you can work within their parameters though, it's a good place to earn an RA degree for relatively cheap. Indiana residents pay $252/hour, up from $226/credit in 2008, and out of state folks pay $458 for most DE courses, but pay in-state tuition for courses in the BGS program I looked at back in 2008. A little bit of trivia, if you do decide to earn a degree from Ball State, you'll share an alma mater with TV host David Letterman. Good luck!
