Northern Illinois University Top Questions

I think that the worst thing about the campus is the distance from home for me, that is because I am very close to my family.

I know that everyone probably says the same thing, there is nothing wrong with my school. There really isn't at NIU. The only things that I would consider bad are the things that every school has, some classes are hard to get into, money situation doesn't always work to your liking, or you don't get the best professor at the school. All the things that I would consider to be bad happen everywhere.

Racism

I feel the facilities in the art building where i spend almost all of my time are sub-par. They need to be updated. I also do not like that there are a lot of great teachers getting fired because of cost cutbacks. Also i would like more attractive areas added to the campus.

It is a big campus. The buildings are spread out.

There is not a lot to do outside of campus.

I would have to say that the worst thing about NIU is the weather.

I would consider the quality of food to the worst thing about the university because a majority of the dorm dining halls are run-down and offer questionable food. There is only one good dining hall here, however, it is definietly not on the list for best college food courts.

I wish there were more classes offered online, especially the ones where movies are shown during class. I hate that part of my tuition is being spent on me being in class for a movie. Most videos can be posted online or are already streaming online. I'd rather go to class for information I may find on my own and discussion.

It is quite expensive.
