Review of Northern Illinois University

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The classes at NIU can be very challenging. Along with the material you learn in class, you will also learn very good time management skills, public speaking skills, and other useful skills that are essential for the real world. You learn how to interview, how to network with employers, ethics, etc.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love being here at NIU! The social life here is amazing. The convocation center hosts a variety of great artists and shows. And the students show tons of Husky Pride!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

School is not cheap. But NIU has a renowned education program known for producing quality, ethical, successful students into the working world. And for such a well-known and respectable school, you are really getting your moneys worth here.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Take as many college credit/AP classes as you can. It allows you to have a lighter workload and you can take more fun classes, classes that you are actually interested in, rather than the required basic classes.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

NIU is a suitcase school. It is located so close to home that many students commute or go home on the weekends.
