History
A small, private teacher training school opened 1899. After the community’s efforts to sustain the college failed, the Ball brothers purchased the land and buildings of the defunct institution and donated them to the State of Indiana. This gift became the Indiana State Normal School Eastern Division, which opened in 1918 to meet Indiana’s need for more and better teachers.

Review
Great school! If you're doing what you're supposed to be doing you'll learn a lot and gain great experience. People who call it a party school make it a party school. Honestly living in the dorms isn't bad either. Dehority dinos for life!
Overall Ball State is a good school
It is a pretty good school. I would suggest taking advantage of all the clubs and activities the campus. I never got into them as I had to have a side job to afford going, but if I could go back I'd join one or two clubs.
It's a wonderful campus
I enjoy the campus atmosphere and the campus itself is very pretty and easy to navigate and get around. The one thing I would say would be to add more parking spots, as sometimes it would be difficult to find a spot. The professors in my program are for the most part excellent and I enjoy my classes.

Campus life
Place matters, and that is particularly true on our beautiful campus—our size, our people, our culture, our technology and our amenities. Our perfect size is one of the most common reasons students choose us. Indeed, we are small enough to be a community but big enough to change the world.
With a population of about 70,000 people, Muncie is home to cultural and recreational amenities such as the Minnetrista, Cardinal Greenways, and Muncie Civic Theatre, plus many opportunities on campus. The city ranks as the most affordable place to live in the U.S., according to Realtor.com, and the Indiana Chamber of Commerce has twice recognized Muncie as the Community of the Year.
Sports facilities
Cheer on our Cardinals in your favorite sport as they compete at the NCAA's top level. Ball State teams know how to win, and our athletes succeed both on the court and in the classroom. Or if you crave some competition yourself or just want to stay fit, our recreation programs will put you in the game and on the track to personal achievement. The recreation center, climbing wall, pools, and outdoor tennis courts are just a few of the great places you have access to around campus.
