Northern Illinois University Top Questions

After attending the Northern Illinois University School of Business for about a month, I can’t think of much to complain about. I'm sure a few things may arise in time but as of right now, I am happy with my education here.

The worst thing that I would consider about my school is the lack of academic involvement within some of the students that attend Northern Illinois University. I am a student that works very hard day in and day out in school, and I pride myself in my work. Some students that attend this university do not take school seriously, and would prefer to have excessive fun. I am very determined to be successful, and I do my best to surround myself with people who are also determined to be successful at this university.

The smell.

The safety, our school is known for that shooting and for the missing girl that just happened in 2010. Students go away to feel secure that is why there should be safey procedures implemented.

The worst thing about my university was the lack of concern by college advisors. Often times when I met with my advisor I felt as though I was being rushed. There was never a time where I connected with my advisor on any level, including when having discussions about the field. I believe that it is vital for students and their advisor to make some type of connection. I felt as though I had to find my on way, this was even difficult than most would expect, because I was a first generation collefe student.

The worst thing about the school is that it has a bad reptuation. Two years ago students were shot by a fellow student who in return shot his self. another tragic event is there were a kidnapping that later became a homicide of a fellow student. So with those tragic events it creates a bad reputation which is bad toward my school.

The cost because everyone can't afford it.

Athletics at time but expanding and investing in the program.

At the time that I attended NIU there was not much life off of campus. There were not many places to go such as stores, entertainment, etc. Although during my later years at NIU the towns around the campus did start to build up. I have not had the opportunity to go back and visit for a long time, but I have heard that many shopping centers/stores/etc. have popped up all around.

Since it locates in a small town, there are not much places to go or to eat.
