" Affordable school. Meant more as a commuter school so there is not alot of major outside activities. Dorms are way too tiny and its best to rent near campus if possible and many people have converted homes to studio rentals. "

" Cheap school so you get what you paid for. There are a lot of great professors and staff but there could be some improvements in the staff. Definitely a suitcase school. I would recommend if you want a cheap and decent school. "

" NIU is overall a good university with lots of resources to help students and mostly great professors. Lots of clubs, both academic and casual. Lots of scholarships if you look for them. Writing this during COVID so the social scene isn't great right now, but before COVID it was fairly easy to meet people. "

" the NIU engineering program is very good and most of the professors here are great and do a wonderful job teaching and explaining the material. NIU has many student services that help you out in whatever way they can which is really helpful. "
