    If you would like to go to Northern Illinois University, some tips I can personally give you are to stay on top of your real priortities whether it is classwork, financial aid, club and sports deadlines and practices, and etc. If you have trouble with school work, please get a tutor! Don't make a mistake like a lot of students do and slack off just because you don't understand the work. That's what you are paying for so take advantage of all the resources that the school provides. I also want to say, stay away from people who will make a negative effect on who you are because there are a lot of students who will take your mind off of what you came to school for. Practice proper hygiene, safe sexual conduct (if involved), do not drink and drive, and be prepared for the culture shock. Most importantly, be positive and learn how to maintain happiness while attending this school. Happiness just makes the college experience that much better. read full review

    Despite the slightly chilly winters, the social aspects and family atmosphere of Northern is lovely. You really feel at home as soon as you move into the dorms your first year, and a variety of clubs and organizations are offered to fit your tastes in recreation. There is a wonderful recreation center on campus, and many cultural events are offered throughout the year for students, often free of charge. read full review
