I really like the faculty and staff at NIU, and the people who attend here.

I think one of the best qualities about NIU is their emphasis on cultural diversity. The people here are really open-minded about different cultures and I really like how people want to learn and take classes about them. They have someting called unity and diversity which is like the campus activity board but they focus more on cultural groups.

This past academic year has taught me that the best thing about Northern Illinois University is our community. We act as if we are a small town. We come together when tragic things happen, and we embrace eachother. We are one united campus that stands strong during the good times and the bad, we wear our Huskie pride on our sleeves, and we carry it in our hearts. We are the Northern Illinois University Huskies!

Social activities on weekends, lots of clubs, good athletic program.
