context_page_description: Ball State University is a public research university in Muncie, Indiana. It has two satellite facilities in Fishers and Indianapolis. On July 25, 1917, the Ball brothers, industrialists and founders of the Ball Corporation, acquired the foreclosed Indiana Normal Institute for $35,100 and gave the school and surrounding land to the State of Indiana. The Indiana General Assembly accepted the donation in the spring of 1918, with an initial 235 students enrolling at the Indiana State Normal School – Eastern Division on June 17, 1918.
  Ball State is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity". The university is composed of eight academic colleges. As of 2017, total enrollment was 22,513 students, including 17,004 undergraduates and 5,509 postgraduates. The university offers about 190 undergraduate majors and 130 minor areas of study and more than 140 master's, doctoral, certificate, and specialist degrees.
  There are more than 400 student organizations and clubs on campus, including 34 fraternities and sororities. Ball State athletic teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and are known as the Ball State Cardinals.
context_section_description: Ball State University operates 34 residence halls, 30 of which are located within seven complexes, housing 7,550 students. Anthony and Schiedler Apartments on-campus accommodate upper-level single students, students with families, and university faculty and staff. Prices vary for on-campus living with meal plan access to dining facilities. LaFollette Complex had previously contained about 1,900 students, the highest capacity residence hall on campus., but was reduced by 2/5 in 2017 by complete demolition of the Northwest tower that housed Woody and Shales Halls, and half demolition of the Northeast tower that housed Knotts and Edwards Halls. The remaining East to West eight-story wing of the Northeast tower was repurposed as office spaces, storage, and work areas for maintenance staff. All residence halls are coed.
