While the university is big-small in that it has large amounts of potential, while having a small campus feel, the prices can be quite expensive. Without financial aid, grants, and assistance, Ball State University can quickly became expensive. Thankfully, the programs in all areas from tuition aid to meal plans are well constructed and fit to your everyday life. read full review

I'm assuming that this means Do you get what you pay for? and I would say you sure do!!! Though Ball State in on the expensive side, I'm glad to know I'm NOT paying lots for a little. BSU has great places to eat like, Woodworth, Noyer and the Atrium, to name my favs. They offer fresh food, made to order. And if you want some great wings but cause afford Buffalo Wild Wings, get some wings from Lafollette! YUM! lol but I'm also paying for a convenient shuttle service called Charlie Charter or the regular shuttles to and from class on those cold early morning and nights. The only thing is I wish parking wasn't so limited and the food was open until 12am some days. read full review
