NIU shifted from being an institution of higher education to trying to be a football powerhouse and it shows.
Gee, I actually worked my way thru college. Someone turn back the clock.
I wish we could turn back the clock, where a part-time job would pay for tuition at mos colleges. A former boss of mine used to brag he drove a CTA bus part-time and paid for Northwestern University. He’s no longer with us in this world because that’s how long ago this was possible.

A degree from NIU is essentially worthless these days.
First NIU lowers admissions standards. Then they adopt “Test-free Admissions Processes”. Now they are giving away their product for free for the first year for the overwhelming majority of incoming students, like some kind of promotion to sucker them into paying full price for the remaining three years.
What a joke.
