Elizabeth Discussion:
I chose to research Northern Illinois University (NIU). NIU is a
4-year, public institution that offers Bachelor’s, Master’s, Post-
master’s, Doctor’s (research/scholarship, and Doctor’s
(professional practice) degree programs with an array of majors

5. to choose from such as Education, Health Professions,
Engineering, Visual and Performing Arts, and several more.
The undergraduate student population is 17,169, with 12,788
students enrolled as undergraduates. Of that undergraduate
population, 53% are White, 19% Hispanic, 17% Black or
African American, 6% Asian, 4% Two or more races, and 2%
Non-resident alien.
The average annual price for an undergraduate student to attend
NIU is 22,686, which was shocking to see, as the price has gone
up significantly since my freshman year in 2009. There are
some special features learning opportunities such as the ROTC
program, Study abroad opportunities, and on-campus day care
for students’ children that may make all the difference in
someone’s decision to enroll at NIU. I think that most students
who attend this school do so for the convenient location and
affordability. The main campus is situated in a small suburban
town that is roughly an hour outside of the city of Chicago. This
gives students the opportunity to experience a quieter college
life but still allows them access to a wide variety of internship
and job opportunities in the city without having to endure too
lengthy of a commute.

Austyn Discussion:
The Pennsylvania State University, or Penn State, is a four-
year, public university, with the main campus, University Park,
found in central Pennsylvania. While it primarily offers
bachelor’s degrees, it also offers associate’s degrees,
certificates, master’s degrees, doctor’s degrees, and so on. The
institution also places a significant focus on research activity.

6. Its student body includes a total enrollment of 46,810 students
as of Fall 2018. These students are predominately white, 90%
of which are full-time students, and more than half are in-state
students.
The cost of tuition for in-state students for the 2018-
2019 school year was $18,454, making it one of the most
expensive public universities to attend in the country (Digg,
2019). Of the included information and features of the
university, that which surprised me was the number of special
learning opportunities offered, such as ROTC, teaching
verification, distance education for both undergraduate and
graduate programs, study abroad, and many more.
I believe that students select this institution over other
options for a number of reasons, including location and the
range of degrees offered. Penn State is one of the largest and
primary universities for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
and there are not many other colleges and universities located in
the area. In addition, while the information included is
focusing on Penn State’s main campus, University Park, the
institution includes nineteen other branches, which make
programs such as the 2+2 program so popular, as the students
spend two years at a branch campus and then the final two years
at University Park. Furthermore, the university offers a large
number of programs and majors for the students to choose from.
