Review of Northern Illinois University

from Island Lake, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Since attending Northern Illinois University I have learned a tremendous amount of information. Previous college's reminded me of high school level agenda; here were working towards becoming better and brighter students, who are at the top of the educational abilities.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The entire area is full of fun/extra circular activities for students. What I've found out is that the people are kind and friendly for someone who's new. Every night during the week there is something to do: whether its attending a sporting event, making an appearance to the recreational center, observing educational/guest speakers, or just even hanging out with peers.

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

Northern Illinois University gives you what you pay for, in every aspect. The resources on campus are outstanding. There's a student center full of recreational activities, educational information, food, and tools for being a student.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

My only tip for future NIU students is to have a wonderful time, apply yourself, and most important be yourself!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for any student; I'm a transfer student and I feel right at home at Northern Illinois University. More at home than I've felt before.
