Attending class regularly has helped me stay engaged with the material and better understand the topics being taught. It also gives me the chance to ask questions, participate in discussions and learn directly from my professors. Being in class also helped me connect with other students who are like-minded and focused on their goals, which has led to great study groups and friendships.

My advice would be to build your network. Find ways to get involved that inspire you! Find clubs you enjoy; find departments to connect with; find faculty whose research interests you. I think one of the best things about NIU is there are many places to be engaged with, and people are always looking for more folks to get involved.
