Unfortunately I am not one to brag, but what comes up a lot when I talk to my friends is the grading style of most teachers. For many of my upper level science courses, I have witnessed tremendous curves that have allowed me to excell beyond a perfect score. A substantial amount of classes have had to curve the class about ten percent in order to accommodate for the students who did not perform well throughout the semester. This is something that I find amusing and awesome; it is awesome because I am able to exceed the standard score limit.

I brag about not being that far away from home and the number of activities there are on campus for those of us who are not athletically inclined. I have a huge interest in anime and have found many kindred spirits on campus.

Our football team is good and we are in the top 25 as well as our record was great for the past few years. The school is located away from all the noise of the city and its a beautiful campus, not to big not to small.

Northern has an excellent education program. The professors are dedicated to ensuring the success of each and every one of their students. Teachers who come out of NIU are very well prepared for the field. NIU also has an excellent football team that is going to the the Orange Bowl this year!

NIU has a top rated Education program. It is small enough to know people yet, large enough to be left alone. The campus is beautiful, sports are fun, and depending on where you live, close enough to home that you can go back when you need to but far enough that your parents will call before they come!!
