Neptune east Dorm Reviews at NIU

Overall, Neptune east was a good fit for my first year here at NIU. The location was perfect for me when attending classes, getting food, and the bus system. However, the overall cleanliness of Neptune east, needs serious work. There is mold in the second floor showers that haven’t been dealt with. The noise complaints were often and disorienting, along with male workers working in the women bathroom, making me feel uncomfortable when going in the morning. I also wish the building was elevated in terms of design and efficiency, one idea including an elevator. Overall, a good dormitory experience, but not without its flaws.

I am close to many of my classes and school buildings. I am on the Fine Arts floor, which I like. So far I like my roommate and have gotten to know people through dorm meetings. My RA is friendly and I feel I can go to her with any concerns I have.

Best place to live on-campus if you want to be involved in a lot of things. All of the other residence halls are pretty far away from the center of campus. There are no elevators, so if you are physically disabled, it is best to either live on the first floor or to pick a different hall altogether. The rooms are kind of small and the entire building is starting to fall apart, but the bathrooms were recently renovated, so they look nice.
