 " Food options are very good and diverse. Honors College has a rewarding and intellectually stimulating program. Make sure to talk to you advisors and some faculty members in your program before and after you have applied/decided you major so that you have a good idea of what courses you will want/need to take (especially if you are planning on pursuing a career that requires grad school). The psych department offers mainly courses regarding statistics, but you are also able to take a course on Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroscience. If you are interested in Psychology, but also love Neurology/are thinking of pursuing Psychiatry or neuroscience, I would recommend majoring in Psych and taking pre-med courses as well. "

 " I enjoyed my time at Ball State. I felt like the professors in my program really cared about my academic progress and my future career path. Class sizes were small enough that you could get to know other students and professors quite well, but there were plenty of opportunities for student media and extracurriculars. "

 " I really love Ball State. It is big enough where you have the ability to meet new people, but small enough that it is not overwhelming. There are so many options for what to study and a variety of clubs to join. The advisors are super helpful and I genuinely lived my professors and how much they enjoyed teaching and helping students. I am planning on staying at Ball State for my Masters because I loved it so much. "

 " I love it at Ball State! They have prepared me for my career quite well. I am now a senior, and have chosen to take a grad program at Ball State in Applied Behavior Analysis. The teachers have all be so helpful, homework is quite challenging and so are the papers, however those things prepared me for my therapist job that I have now. "

 " I believe that Ball State was the right choice for me. I think that all of the professors in the psychology department are very interactive and care for their students. I getting the opportunity to work in depth with them on a number of projects. I also think that the Honors college is a supportive community and can be a good resource for students. "
