What TRIO members are saying
When I transferred, I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of NEIU's main campus. Now when I walk between classes I enjoy seeing all the familiar faces. My advice: attend workshops and get involved in a variety of activities. Build a comfortable relationship with your professors and don't be afraid to ask them and your classmates for help when you need it.

What TRIO members are saying
When I came to NEIU as a freshman I thought it would be a lonely difficult place. I'm first generation, so college intimidated me. Fortunately, TRIO and my friends helped me overcome my fears, and now I feel comfortable and eager to learn. My advice to be a successful student: communicate often with your professors and turn in assignments on time. And never put homework off until the last minute.
