Our totally unauthorized student review of Northern Illinois University is the best guide to NIU that you'll find on the web. It’s a difficult school but extremely supportive and eager for each student to succeed. The campus is only 65 miles away from downtown Chicago and 45 miles from Rockford. The school’s location really comes in handy, especially because a lot of the students going to NIU live within 2-3 hours away at the furthest. So if you forget something at home, it is very easy to just go home on a random Tuesday night to go get it. Sadly, NIU has been in the news recently, but there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we go over in our uncensored guide to Northern Illinois University. And yes, we do tackle the difficult issue of safety in our guide. The raw nature of our review may shock you, but it's honest for one reason: to give you the TRUTH about NIU! As always, our guide is backed by a full 100% money-back guarantee.
Here are some excerpts from our review of Northern Illinois University:
"To have the most fun as a freshman, you’d want to pick a co-ed floor with a double room. A double room means you’re going to have a roommate. While roommates aren’t completely ideal, singles are worse than they appear."
"Stevenson is with no question the best dorm on campus. It is an upperclassmen dorm though, so as a freshman you will not get in."
"I’d pretty much do anything to stay away from....."
"The buses that NIU has are all free of charge for anyone, not just for NIU students but for any DeKalb resident. Also, all the frats and sororities have a “care day” on campus where they go around the town and help out residents. They clean up parks and streets throughout the town."
"______ has had rumors going around about them that they make girls wear bikinis and stand in the middle of the yard. Once they’re there, they have a frat come over and circle the fat on their body with marker. Rough."
"__________ is the biggest crime area in the town. Cops are ALWAYS there, drive past any weekend night and it’s almost guaranteed that a cop is going to be there."
"Okay, the elephant in the room-the NIU shooting almost 2 years ago...."
"Oooh parties on campus. Best part of school :) The house parties on campus can get really rowdy..."
"People on campus also joke around that you have to be under 21 to get in because they let anyone with a fake in."
"Things We Wish We Knew As Freshmen----Oh God-where to start. I really wish I had something to read like this before coming to school........"
