Combining superior resources and guidance with real-world opportunities to cultivate skills, Ball State University is among the most prestigious institutions in the Midwest. The extremely low student-to-teacher ratio helps provide a highly personalized educational experience, and a heavy emphasis on fields like business, management, and marketing has led to Ball State being one of the nation’s leading developers of young entrepreneurs. The university is also a major cultural hub for Muncie, with on-campus facilities like the Charles W. Brown Planetarium, the David Owsley Museum of Art, and Emens Auditorium all serving as popular venues for the general public as well as the collegiate population. Downtown is a few blocks away across the White River, but more close-by spots like The Chug and Be Here Now have become popular hangouts as well. Rental rates tend to be quite affordable in town, even within a few blocks of the campus, making it easy to find the perfect apartment, condo, or house for you.
