As a Ball State student, I might mention that we have world class programs... It may not be in hard sciences like Engineering, but we do excel in at least Architecture, Theatre, and Telecommunications, putting in hundreds of hours outside of the classroom. That's why we "Ball So Hard" and party like none other. We spend all of the rest of our time working on projects that immerse us in our crafts. What spare time we do have we spend getting shitfaced at the bars in the Village or at some random house party, dancing drunk in the basement. I think what makes a good party school is a student body committed to getting drunk because our lives suck and, really, there's not much else to do in Muncie.
