Hustle Belt is citing a WalletHub ranking that claims that Ball State and Eastern have some of the worst college atmospheres in the nation. The same ranking has Northern, CMU and BG as being Top 60 college cities. I would say Ypsilanati has better drinking and eating establishments but is a comuter school at best. It is telling how dead the BSU campus is on weekends. Suitcase College still lingers here. I am hard pressed to understand how NIU, CMU or BG is much better.

Late '70s, BSU was a suitcase college, but by 1980, a large majority of the students stayed on campus on the weekends. Party life on campus was huge. |

Are they talking in general or in terms of sporting events?

60th??? Better than I expected. I think the report is off. I cannot see Pittsburgh, Cincinatti, Atlanta and Provo as better than Bloomington. Nor Muncie, for that matter. |

What is negative about this ranking? Muncie is the best rated city overall in Indiana and third highest in the MAC.
Overall out of 326 locations reviewed Muncie was 60th best overall.
In the individual catagories:
Wallet Wellness #5
Youth-Oriented Environment #100
Opportunities #91
