“Hello, I am a business major from Nepal.  Choosing to attend Northern Illinois University was a good decision for me.  I found my studies to be very demanding, but rewarding. The teachers here are friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to help you with your studies.  I also like the fact that NIU offers students many extracurricular activities in sports, recreation, entertainments and socializing.  With people to help you around with your needs,  I feel NIU is like a home away from home.  And I would recommend NIU to anyone looking to further their education.”
