Explore DeKalb
DeKalb and its surrounding communities have a lot to offer.
After being an official Huskie, and now working in Altgeld Hall, I still love the energy on campus, and I can definitely feel the magic in the Altgeld atriums.
I was pleasantly surprised by the location of NIU and how close to nature campus is. You have lagoons, a river and woods with so many geese and squirrels around. These resources are especially useful when studying ecology-related subjects and also to settle your mind when you are stressed.
As a commuter Ph.D. student, I wasn't sure how I would connect with others, but I have built great friendships with amazing people thanks to my opportunities at NIU.
