All Around Good School

The school has a good athletic center, has a number of courts that can be used for volleyball basketball, racket ball, fencing, and has a indoor track, a weightlifting room, treadmills. The student center is always full of students. It is very nice with a coffee shop subway and two food joints. Libraries are old, but have plenty of computers, easy to navigate and you can always find a place to study. As for campus activities, their is not a lot of things to do that does not involve going to a party, or getting drunk... The school has a strong policy against underage drinking but students still go and get drunk. Other than that many events require you to pay for entry, like the parties and are not very fun. The school itself is very isolated to each other, people are almost never outside doing anything, and if they are hold to their own group.

Music Building

The Music Building at Northern Illinois University could really use some renovation. The majority of the pianos in the practice rooms are very out of tune, and the practice rooms are not sound proof so you can hear the Violinist next door while you are trying to practice piano. The elevators are very old and the class rooms could use smart-boards and ceiling repairs.

The Athletic Centers Are Great

There are a lot of equipment that can be used to work out. There are a lot of variety as well. There is a weight room. The center also has area for sports. Here they have teams you can join, at club level. It's really great. Students center needs to be remodeled so it can be more moderned. The library has a huge selection of books. Any book you need to find you will find there. There are constant campus activities going on. one just has to keep a look out.
