Let's take a stroll through the quad together.
The 'Quad' is the original par tof campus on the southwest side. It's the largest grass area in campus. If you like this, be sure to also check out duck pond on the north end or the Cardinal Greenway that follows the White River.How big? How size effects the Ball State Experience
Ball State has a population of about 20,000 students as compared to schools such as Purdue (40,000) or IU (50,000) and covers over 700 acres. It is spaced out enough to feel like you have breathing room, but not so anything is beyond walking distance.Lecture Halls and class size || Teacher's College
Lecture halls are not used for most classes at Ball State, but like anywhere, there are a few. Pro tip: anticipate buying an iclicker. I rented mine the first time I needed it and had to buy it back again later. Also, for renting books, Ball State does price match Amazon or Chegg, but know that the return line at the bookstore at the end of the semester is unbearable. You may want to just opt for the $2 dollar shipping charge.Real Talks: Roommates
I just want to take a minute and talk with you about roommates. Of course it can be a hesitancy for many students and I want to share a some advice for having a more productive experience living with roommates for the first time.
