I usually brag about how diverse it is. There are many different ethnicities here on campus, and I'm proud of that.
Amber
I met a few professors who were passionate about making a difference in their students lives.

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.
Sharron
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.
Jerrod
How much there is to do. From sporting events to parties and accademics! Its's an amazing campus and there is always something to do within it!
Valeata
I do not brag about Rust College in any way. Rust College is nothing to brag about in my opinion.
Kristy
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!
Shanna
The professors at Northern Illinois University are very knowledge in the subjects they teach. They can tell you about the experience they had in their field and the tribualtions they had to overcome as well.
Enjoy college, they really are the best years of your life.

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!!
Dustin
The opportunities that I will be presented with after I graduate from Northenr Illinois University.

What I brag about most when I tell all my friends about school is how small Northern Illinois University's campus is. All of the major buildings where classes are held, office buildings, and even the dormitorys are close by one another. This makes getting around campus fairly easy. Having such a small campus also allows for me acess anything that I need quite easily. For example, if I need to speak with my guidance counsler after a class, its no more then a five minute walk from anywhere on campus to the cousling office.
Alex
It's close to home and less expensive than a private school. Also, I must admit that the majority of my teachers have been friendly, intelligent and helpful people.
Kareem
It's the typical college campus you see on television but in the middle of farmland.
Amanda
NIU is designed to be a lived on campus. Housing, academic buildings, resteraunts, bars and clubs, are all within walking distance of each other. For the few things that can't be reached on foot there is excellent busing.
Christopher
The diversity here and how intelligent the teachers and staff are.
Summer
Really nothing, NIU was not my school of choice and it did not persuade me that it was the best choice for my Bachelors degree.
Samantha
There is so much to do all the time. As long as you pay attention to the planned events the school has something at least once a week to do. whether its ice cream socials, famous artists, or football games.
Chiquita
I brag most about the resources available at NIU. There are so many organizations available at Northern to join. There is something for everyone to be involved in, from Greek Life to Spanish Club. It is because of such a diverse group of organizations that I convinced one of my friends to apply and attend Northern Illinois University.
Amber
i brag on how easy it is to be able to get your school work or studying done and still be able to have a healthy social life.
