Tracing its roots back to 1867, Northeastern Illinois University has long been an important contributor to Chicago’s academic community. The university has built a reputation for providing high-quality educational opportunities through its Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business and Management, and Education. The campus serves as a cultural hub for the nearby neighborhoods, hosting theater productions and concerts at the NEIU Stage Center and displaying fresh and exciting artwork at the Fine Arts Center Gallery.
NEIU occupies a quiet section of Chicago, about three miles inland from Montrose Beach. The surrounding North Park neighborhood offers many affordable rentals within a few blocks of the university, with the most availability on the south and east sides of campus. This section of the city is mostly residential, with a few strips of commercial activity close by along Lawrence Avenue and Devon Avenue. However, with the benefit of local public transportation, you can easily take advantage of the best that Chicago has to offer, even without the use of a personal vehicle.
