Im always hearing people that UIC is better for Engineering than NIU but education is education. UIC has a far more drop out rate from engineering than NIU. Those students end up coming to NIU to finish their studies. My point is that NIU is actually a good school for Electrical Engineering. There are many good professors given some not so good ones, but every place has its kinks. The bottom line is education is education no matter where you get it from. Every engineering school is ABET accredited and we all learn the same stuff as any school in the United States. IT depends on the Professors on what they want to teach and how much they want to teach. The night life is getting better and better here so Im really tired of people complaining about NIU. just face the fact is NIU is as good of a school as UIC or even better.
