College in northeastern Ohio that is overrun by cute, but annoying, black squirrels imported from Canada by a janitor over 30 years ago. Mascot is an eagle/lightning bolt.

A large mediocre university in Muncie, Indiana known for several things including:
-A world class telecommunications program.
-A top twenty architecture program.
-Really cute hoosier co-eds.
-Incredible street parties.
-Occasional men's basketball prowess.
-The alma mater of David Letterman.
-A student body who has a really good time despite being located in one of the most depressing declining cities (see funcie) in the midwest.
-In the same athletic conference as Kent State

Man, I feel like spending 4-5 years of my late teens and early twenties having a good time; I think I'll apply to Ball State.
