Coming into NEIU I wasn't sure if I was going to like it; but, now after a semester and a half I wouldn't have it any other way. The thing that I find the most intriguing about being in NEIU is the fact that you can find diverse people from all parts of the world, I have enjoyed watching the skating crew hang out in front of the Student Union performing tricks. The campus itself is an awesome hangout place, especially in the early beginning of the fall semester. When the weather is good, it is great seeing everyone hang out around campus just waiting for their next class to come around. College though awesome it is not perfect, I wish the university provided housing for students who have to commute. I hear so many complaints from students who commute and it takes them over two hours to arrive at the campus. I was honestly thinking about transferring after I completed my general ed. requirements but know, I kind of don’t want to leave.
I always say that “I didn’t choose to attend NEIU, NEIU chose me.” Originally I was planning to attend the University of Cincinnati; however, I didn’t receive the necessary amount of financial aid to attend. The cheapest alternative I could think of was Northeastern, it was convenient. I didn’t like the idea, far less the university itself. After settling down, meeting some people and taking some classes, I decided I wanted to stay. Now all I want is to find a cheap apartment in Albany Park to be part of the community.
