Northern Illinois University

Housing and Dining

Join a Living Learning Community

After being admitted to NIU, students receive an application and information packet from Housing & Dining.
Assignment to a House depends on many factors. Students who apply and meet the following requirements will be given first priority:

  1. Have been admitted to the College or Department involved in a particular House
  2. Have a sound academic record
  3. Have been involved in extracurricular and leadership activities

Other students will be considered on a one by one basis if space is available.

Eligibility

In most programs, priority is given to students who have a major or who intend to have majors in the academic field related to the program. In some cases, students with a strong interest in the academic discipline are accepted. Acceptance into the Living Learning Communities is not automatic. Some programs require a minimum GPA or ACT score.

Early applicants have the best chance of being assigned. If you have been admitted to NIU and have not yet received the Housing & Dining information packet, or if you have any additional questions, please contact:
