I had applied to two colleges, NIU was my back up as I knew a family friend who went here and loved it. I got into both schools, but I ended up not liking my first choice when I went to orientation. So, I decided to give NIU a try as I received a great scholarship. I did not even receive a scholarship from my first choice. I am very glad I did as I have been able to continue a successful academic career while making some really great friends.

There are lots of on campus job opportunities. I worked at one of the dining facilities on campus for a few months. Overall I didn't like it. I feel like they pay is really bad compared to the amount of work you are required to do. However I have heard of other on campus jobs that people seem to enjoy.

It's close to my home, only an hour drive, and I like the big campus feel. I also thought that it was a decently ranked university and it wouldn't be too challenging for me. I also enjoyed the campus when I visited.
