Muncie, IN

[ScottyB]

I am looking at grad programs currently and I found a school in Indiana (yuck) that seemed interesting. The only problem is it is in a fairly conservative state. College towns are usually more liberal, but how is Muncie?

Afraid to have your world views challenged?

I don't know about Ball State but IU over in Bloomington, IN seems pretty liberal.

No, I enjoy that. I just don't want to live in an conservative area. I am from a red, agricultural county in Michigan and have lived in a more liberal area as an undergrad. I prefer the liberal area.

I don't think ballstate is that conservative but indiana in general is.

Ball State and IU are not too bad.

I lived there for 2 years. That town hasn't changed much and is quite boring. Probably more fun if you're in school.
