I almost never see anything for NIU within 30 minutes of campus but continually see ads for other MAC schools. NIU has almost no presence right now in its own backyard.

Thank you for this post. I was telling someone that I've seen billboards in different suburban areas for Bowling Green, Miami, Western Michigan, and Ball State, but was told it was my imagination.

All of those plus Eastern Illinois.

Looks like the marketing is paying off for Eastern. Applications are up 2K year over year. I guess effective marketing can produce results.
