WHY BALL STATE: Ball State has a lot to offer! A major part of my decision to attend Ball State is Coach Andry. I really like him and what he is building within the Ball State women's golf program, the positivity that he brings, and his winning mindset. Ball State is a great educational institution, it has a beautiful and safe campus, and academically it has the majors I am considering.
