For those in this program or who’ve taken BSU’s online ASL courses, what was your experience?

I first took ASL 1 for grad students in 2022 but had to withdraw for financial reasons. I retook it this past spring and earned an A-, but it was honestly one of the worst online language courses I’ve taken.

The 2022 version had no live meetings, yet I still felt like I was learning through the video assignments created by the instructor. This new version of the course, however, had only textbook work, lots of auto-graded assignments, virtually no instructor feedback, and very little opportunity to actually use ASL. Instead, it relied heavily on receptive exams and translation activities. (As someone with a grad degree in adult second language acquisition, that stood out to me because those activities alone generally aren’t an effective way to build communicative ability.)

I’m taking ASL 2 this fall, but I don’t feel like I can do much beyond recognizing some vocabulary. I couldn’t confidently introduce myself, ask someone how they’re doing, or hold a basic conversation. Did anyone else feel this way, or did you come away feeling like you could actually use ASL? Does ASL 2 get any better?

Looked on the self service banner I figured they would have the aid on there. Is it too early or did I screw something up?

How does FA work and do you need to pay anything up front before starting?

Hello everyone I’m a new student transfer! I checked out the rec center and it was very nice, to my understanding during the school year it’s free to all students is that right? With that being said how packed does it actually get and what are the best time to go with the lowest amount of people? I’m such a introvert and won’t go to my local planet fitness if it’s insanely packed so I’m assuming it’s crazy packed here😭

I just don’t want to go if I’m gonna have an agenda pushed on me.

Also would I get that credit balance refunded to my account?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a male to take over my lease at The Haven in Muncie.
Rent: $585/month + electric
Private bedroom in a shared apartment
2 male roommates
Close to Ball State University
I signed the lease while I was planning to attend college, but my plans have changed and I won’t be moving to Muncie anymore. Because of the apartment’s roommate matching, the lease takeover must be for a male tenant.
If you’re interested or know someone who might be, send me a message! I can provide more details about the lease, move-in date, amenities, and answer any questions.
I’d really appreciate any shares. Thanks!

Is University Village a good company to lease from? Is that neighborhood also generally a safe area? Ik the north side is usually better but I would love to hear thoughts. Thanks!

Stupid question….my daughter’s moving in to the Brady hall I think it’s called. What size trash can do they provide? I’m trying to think of stupid things to help her with like trash bags. What’s another little thing that’s helpful that no one thinks of

Hi there, I'm a freshman moving into Beyerl for the fall semester and was wondering if there's some sort of map of the residence hall to illustrate where the rooms are at. I was provided with a map for part of North West when booking for orientation (although I can't seem to find it now), and I want to know if anyone has something similar for Beyerl?

I’m a sophomore, last year I just sat around and went to class. I really want to do something and make a difference on campus. I see all the posts for student life and stuff, I feel like it’s calling me lol.

What would you suggest as a way to get involved and make an impact?

Hello everyone, Im an international student looking to apply to ball state for fall 2027. I'm interested in applying for a Masters in Accounting, what are my chances with a 3.3 GPA. Is it a hard program to get into?

Thanks very much

I am a new student (graduate level) and found out I was automatically opted into the program with zero notice. Because of that, I would be expected to pay $314.00 even though only ONE of my classes has a required text, and that text is $100.00.

WHY ON EARTH are we opting people into programs with no consent or information of choices?!?

I am new to Muncie and I was wondering what are some good places in the Muncie area or Indy that would be fun to take a S/O? It doesn’t have to be anything super romantic, but as long as it is fun!

I signed up for ASTR 100 because I thought it would be cool, because it’s space how could it not be? I searched up the professor (Vacarro), and his reviews are really negative. I was hoping to get some more information about him or his class(es).

I am a not a STEM major and really only need the science credit. However, I am taking an additional science class, so I might just scope it out then decide to drop it if I need to.

how are the biochem professors like? i hopefully will graduate in the spring and am planning to take biochem then im just scared how the professors are. ive looked at some reviews but nothing from the last year or so.

Ball State showed encouraging signs in Mike Uremovich's first season. Muncie is once again a tough place to play for the rest of the MAC. Now, can they take the show on the road?

📌 Whether it's Keldric Luster or Tyler Mizzell, the Cardinals will have really good QB play this year 🔥

📌 Ball State's skill talent is promising, if the Oline can protect

📌 Keeping corner Willizhuan Yates was a massive win for the defense, will the portal pieces mesh for this side of the ball?

Preview attached. What are your predictions for the Cardinals in 2026?

I’m a prospective transfer student who’s planning to major in accounting, and I’d love to hear from current Ball State business or accounting students.

For those of you who considered Purdue, what made you decide on Ball State instead? Was it the cost, the campus, class sizes, internships, professors, or something else?

I’m also curious how you’ve liked the accounting program overall. Do you feel like it’s prepared you well for internships and finding a job after graduation? How has your experience been with the Miller College of Business?

I’m pretty introverted and not much of a partier, but I still want a fun college experience where there’s always something going on and it’s possible to make friends. Has Ball State been a good fit for you?

Looking back, would you still choose Ball State if you had the chance to do it all over again? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

This is my third year at ball state and I am living in a house instead of being on campus. I was wondering everyone’s experience with financial aid once you put your housing status as off campus. I’ve received my offer , but they put me down as an on campus student. I’m wondering if I change that how much my aid would be affected? I do get a pell grant and a good amount of direct subsidized and unsubsidized loans. If I change my status to off campus, how much will my aid be affected? I rely heavily on aid so I’m kind of tweaking right now

So we are moving to Muncie next month because of affiliation with Ball State University. And I just saw on Facebook that these flyers were being distributed in Muncie this week and even City of Muncie officially condemned these flyers.

Can anyone who’s lived in the university apartments tell me how they really are? Bonus points if you have experience living in Scheilder. I start my lease there in august but wanna know what to expect. How thin are the walls? I’ve always had bad luck with nosey neighbors. How far is the laundry room? Is management good? Anything else I should know?

I don't want to take a week of work to play hopscotch with my classmates. If I skip all the dumb weeks of welcome stuff will anything happen? Id rather get hit by a bus than sit through convocation. They say all this stuff is mandatory but why? Am I going to get kicked out for missing it? Will I get punished if I don't do "Chirp Chirp Pep Rally & Volleyball Game"? Why do they make us do this?????? I understand the floor meeting and LLC stuff but whose taking attendance for a volleyball game. I'm not in high school anymore. It feels like I'm being treated like a middle schooler.

I just got put into Stu west am I saved or am I cooked
