While having Ball State University nearby is wonderful, there are many dangerous parts of town once you get off campus. Great restaurant options though!
There is not a lot to do in Muncie other than attending college. I am currently a student at Ball State. The University is very nice, clean, and safe. They are working on upgrading and expanding the school. The surrounding community is not as nice as the school. Downtown Muncie is cute but very small. There are a few fun boutiques and restaurants that are good. There are many chain stores like Walmart and Target, but if you are looking for fun activities or a fun nightlife you have to drive to fishers or Forte Wayne.
I've lived in Muncie my entire life and I will say that I am proud to call this my city. Although, there's a lot of people everyone is like a big family! One thing I would like to see happen for the city of Muncie is more volunteer opportunities for the community. Our young people seem to be getting in the wrong things which is causing a lot of issues in homes of those families whose children are in the streets. Killings, murders, drugs has taken over the minds and the lives of our young people. Being 22 years old and active in youth ministry, there is only so much I can do. I would like to see the city of Muncie take charge to help better the community to protect the future. The young people today are the future for tomorrow!
