Facts

Campus Tours

Campus walking tours are available year-round Monday through Friday at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday tours are offered at noon. For more info, call (815) 753-0446. The Office of Admissions is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. throughout the year. During the school year, the office is open on Saturdays 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Prospective Weekend

Open Houses occur four times a year—Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day, President’s Day and a Friday in mid-April. These dates offer opportunities to tour the campus and residence halls, visit with University representatives, and meet with current students. Important tip: Open houses and campus tours are invaluable tools in making your college choice, but University officials hand them to you. Tour leaders are well trained to make sure you come away with the most positive perception of NIU possible. Make every effort to talk to random students to gain their insights as well. They’ll likely provide a more colorful, accurate view of the school. Don’t be afraid to strike up conversations with students just hanging around. They don’t bite and will usually go out of their way to provide information because they were once in your position.

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
