Not to Bad.

The recreation center got new equipment and there is a lot of stuff for you to do there. Not all buildings have wi-fi, but NIU is currently working on expanding that. The student center has restaurants, commuter labs and lounge areas on top of the Huskie Den which has bowling, billiards and video games.

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.
