NIU serves about 11,000 undergraduate and 4,000 graduate students from diverse backgrounds. Most students in the clinical psychology program live in apartments, townhomes, or houses in the DeKalb/Sycamore area. The small town feel of these communities allows students to focus on graduate school; however, we are close enough to Chicago to go in for the day to enjoy all that a major city has to offer. The following provides links to learn more about these communities.

• NIU virtual tour.
• Off campus housing.
• City of DeKalb.
