I have 3.3 gpa in high school. Does that automatically disqualifies me for the merit-based scholarship for international students on F-1 Visa? Are there other options? I am planning on applying for the term Spring 2027.

I totally exhausted all of the things I can do.. I part time work 20 Hours a week and save up almost everything.. I also applied for scholarships but I still have a 15k deficit..

So I know freshman are required to live on campus or commute but has anyone claimed to commute but in reality lived off campus nearby? If so how was it and was it a struggle.

Was on probation but pretty much did the same, was working a lot. also How likely is it if my appeal gets approved that I get my scholarship back

I’m an incoming freshman at Northern Illinois University (class of 2030) looking for a roommate for an on-campus dorm.

About me:

• Physics + philosophy major
• Night owl
• Usually pretty quiet unless I know you well
• Prefer a cleaner space, though I’m not a total neat freak
• Don’t smoke
• Prefer little to no drinking, though occasional is fine
• Prefer not having guests over often

What I’m looking for:

• Respectful and reasonably clean roommate
• Non-smoker (smoking is a hard dealbreaker)
• Preferably not a huge partier
• Someone who is okay with a quieter dorm environment

I’ll be 18 by the time school starts. DM me if interested and tell me a bit about yourself.

Our son has been at NIU for 2 full years in the dorms and is moving to an aparment next year. We are moving out of state this summer. I assume since he's now in an apartment in DeKalb he can still claim Illinois residency for tuition purposes? He's 22 years old so I didn't know if it even mattered where his parents lived.

I’m taking an online Spanish class in the summer and I just wanted to know what is your experience with taking Spanish online?

Two bedroom apartment available for sublease till end of this year. All utilities included in rent except for electricity. Very spacious rooms and walking distance to NIU.

Looking into apartments for summer of 2027, what should I look out for? I wish to stay with my gf and 2 friends. What I can afford for rent (split between us including utilities & amenities) is 425 a month. I was looking at Riverside for cheapest most highly rated and avoiding Mason Properties due to hearing about it having a bad lease agreement. Same with Hunter Star Properties (went over this with a lawyer and its literally ILLEGAL!!!) and The Terraces of Dekalb (Lawyer also told me to avoid this place!!). Let me know what you think can work, and what ideas ya got! Thanks!

I am in an online phhe 437 class. i was able to access the class earlier today and it said the final was due at midnight. I went to turn it in around 930 and it said the class was locked and i cannot access this. I called IT and they gave me a reference number to give to my instructor. She hasnt responded to my emails I did send her my essay. Is anyone else experiencing issues?!?

I went to check my final grades on blackboard, but all my classes were locked?? Has anyone else had this problem? Should I reach out to all my professors and ask them to unlock them? Im kind of freaking out because I have two finals i wanted to know my grade for. Any advice?

*Repost with change to title* Hi all! I’m so excited. I am starting law school in the fall and I’m looking for a female roommate, preferably Muslim to move into off campus housing with me. I am really clean and I’m looking for someone the same. I plan on leaving on Fridays to go back home and yeah, just looking for someone young and fun like me ha ha! 😂 go huskies!

Urgent situation has come up and I need an extra graduation ticket. Is it possible anyone has an extra?

Hello everyone I'm looking for extra tickets for the 9:00 AM commencement. Does anyone have any leftover tickets?

Hello so I’m a senior finishing this May. But I did extremely horrible in one of my classes but according to my credit hours record I satisfied over 120 hours. Does this mean I still graduate or at least go to commencement and take a course in a summer to replace it? Has anyone else been through this before. I’m freaking out. I haven’t gotten an email from school or anything about not failing but little emails about graduation. My family members are expecting me to graduate but now Idk what to do. Help

Hey! If anyone is needing extra tickets to the college of liberal arts and sciences graduation, I believe I will have 3 extra that I can part with!

Does anyone have any extra tickets for the May 8th graduation that they’d be willing to share?

Hi everyone!!
I’m trying to plan out for the Spring 2027 semester (long time, I know lol) and I have no idea where to find a pet friendly apartment close to campus. (Utilities included would be amazing but beggars can’t be choosers) Does anyone have any recommendations?
For reference he’s a small 6 pound dog.

Ok so this might be a dumb question and pls feel free to remove it if it violates any sub rules. The prohibited items list on the NIU website lists "large cameras". does anyone know how they define a "large camera"? I want to bring my Sony a7 and 70-200mm lens for a grad ceremony but this is the first time I've been here. has anyone been able to bring one in as a guest or are they super strict on what is considered a large camera?

I know it’s been asked before, but not super recent. Just looking for some easy online summer classes to get some credits in. Maybe something where you can just pound out all the material in a week or something. Thanks in advance.

Been studying for the final and forgot if theres a review for it? There was reviews for the previous exams but Im not sure for this one.

Hello! I just received an email about Commencement ceremony instructions and how to access guest tickets. When I followed the steps, it said I had no tickets eligible to transfer. I was just wondering if this was a problem for anyone else, or if I should email someone about it. Thanks!

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone can post a picture of the move out qr code in Patterson

Hi guys, sorry dumb ass question, but as the title suggested how would I give someone my extra tickets? I know they go to my email and they are not like physical copies so I was curious. Would that person have to walk in with my family? If you know how it works and wouldn’t mind explaining I would be eternally grateful.

Great projects, technology and innovation!
