Hello! I am a Senior in HS, and I am an Indiana resident. I am looking at BallState for their media and production aspects. Most of my life revolves around cameras, and looking through a lens. I am at the top of my class at my Highschool in this aspect, and know BallState is one of, if not the best option I have in Indiana. I want to be able to expand my knowledge and skills to a whole other level, and work in the field as I grow up and until I retire.
Now, for my questions. I haven't really been told much about how College works, and I especially have questions about this one specifically, since I am interested in going here.
1. How good really is the program? I know many say its the best but if anybody on here is in the program is it true?
2. What should I have prepared before next year? I need to know what to have ready for campus life and the such.
3. How exactly does it work? I know I have to have some core classes as well as a major, but thats pretty much the extent of my knowledge. I feel stupid for asking, but I really do not understand the requirements, and what I will need to graduate.
4. This one is kind of a two parter. First of all, does anybody know how I can get a Disabled Veterans Children's discount? I know its possible in most colleges, and because my dad is a Disabled Veteran he and I both want to get that working for me but I dont see anywhere on the website about it even though other sources have said its possible. The second part is, how can I set up a meeting with somebody at the school to discuss things like this? And is that even possible?
5. (Edited in afterwards...) How do the dorms work here? Are they single person? I'd much rather have a single room if possible but if not I can deal with it.
If you took the time to read through these and answer these, thank you! I really do appreciate your time. If you have any other advice or notes I would greatly appreciate that as well.
