<p>I'm currently a student at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. I never thought I'd end up here. I've always been a very strong and passionate students, and Ball State is thought of as Indiana's mediocre school. During the final months of my senior year, I was stressing out like crazy choosing between Ball State and Indiana University Bloomington. I ended up picking Ball State because of a huge scholarship I got through the school's Honors College and because they have a really great up and coming program for my major (theatre).</p>
<p>However, now that I've been here for awhile, I'm realizing that I'm not very happy here. I'm not miserable, but I'm not happy. I don't feel challenged. I feel challenged to get the grade, but I don't feel challenged to learn. I'm not surrounded by my kind of people- not intelligent, funny people who inspire me to be the best me I can be. I have to pick a very specific focus in my major (theatre directing) which means I'm not getting a lot of experience doing the other things I love (acting, writing).</p>
<p>At IU, I would be focusing in "Acting and Directing" and could take classes in playwriting. When I toured both schools a few times last year, I remember feeling much more at home in Bloomington. I was excited and felt like I could discover great things there. I didn't get that feeling so much at BSU. The people seem to be more my speed (a good friend of mine is an Acting and Directing student there and shares a great bit with me about the program and the atmosphere/people).</p>
<p>Now, at IU, I wouldn't have the large scholarship and the tuition is more expensive as is. I could realistically graduate from BSU with an excess of funds, while at IU I'd graduate with my fair share debt. I do want to go to grad school eventually too.</p>
<p>In your opinion, is it worth it to transfer?</p>
