I have a special place in my heart for the NIU Husky sports teams. I still head out to as many…read morefootball games as I can every year and I always have a great time. I am still running into people who I went to school there with! They recently built the new Convocation Center for Basketball and Brigham Field is always a fum place to see a game. The recent success of the football program has every game either a sellout or very close to it. The tailgating at the homecoming games and every game for that matter is always a blast too. I am looking forward to the upcoming football season!

A night to remember!…read more I was overjoyed by ever aspect of my first visit to the theatre. From the people at the door, to those at the concession stand, everyone was so nice. They had adult frozen drinks, such a cool option. And not extremely overpriced. We attended the screening of the cult classic The Lost Boys. The quality was great, as was the sound. We enjoyed the whole experience. We arrived early to get the "good seats". So we got screens showing the history of the theatre and information about the renovations. The place looks great and they put on a bunch of cool events. I highly recommend the Egyptian Theatre.

I transferred in so I only take classes at Barsema Hall. If you are looking to have professors who…read morespeak fluent English, do not take up a Finance or Business degree at NIU. Positives: Professor Doughty speaks fluent English and is a great professor. He teaches Business and has actually ran and sold his own highly successful business. I have learned more about public speaking and people skills in his class than my actual public speaking classes. Professor Benning speaks fluent English and is a great professor. He is enthusiastic and knows how to encourage class participation without making it feel forced. Highly engaging teaching style. Professor Kuhn is pretty funny and brings in some cool guest speakers. Field trips. The school goes up to Chicago for field trips, it's pretty nice. Bloomberg Terminal access. The school has access to the Bloomberg Terminal and opens up access to students which is pretty cool since otherwise I would have to pay about $32,000 per year for one of my own. There are a few impressive alumni (Robert Zemeckis, Dennis Barsema, The Nostalgia Critic, a handful of athletes and state legislators). The Huskies are also actually pretty good at football. Negatives: About half of the Finance/Business professors speak very poor English, and because most of the classes involve numbers, you're on your own. You will need a Chegg subscription. Main road to get to the campus has been blocked off for over a year now. Crime. Muggings, shootings, and rape. The closest gas station has a thick wall of bulletproof glass in front of the cash register. I don't want to act like it's as bad as Rockford or Chicago or something because nobody has given me any trouble but just be warned. Your typical DEI crap. Tampons in the men's bathroom. All College of Business students are forced to attend at least one DEI event before graduating. Here's an example of the title of one of these such events: "Conversations of the Heart: Valentine's Day Queered". Parents - keep in mind this is the kind of thing you're paying $30,000/year for. You are not guaranteed a decent job after all the money you pay. I'd say NIU sucks, but all of this stuff is unfortunately par for the course for higher education in the US at the moment.
