A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
NIU's main campus is located in DeKalb, Illinois. It offers students a complete traditional university experience. Our 765 acre campus is an eclectic mix of architecture and beautiful natural spaces.

Museum Yes Yes
Satellite campus Yes No
Farm larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres No No
Agricultural experiment station larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres No No

The rationale for excluding any features that are present from the institutional boundary:
NIU's satellite campuses are small, and primarily serve specialized graduate programs. The majority of institutional activities occur on our main campus.
