submitted by Jordan G. - |Recommended: YesVery clean — A great place to live.
response from property -Thank you so much for the kind review. We are happy you're happy! Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you and have a wonderful rest of your week. :) - UP
submitted by Jessica R. - |Recommended: YesI think that University Plaza is a very clean and quiet complex. — I think that living at University Plaza is a nice place to live. It is nice that your rent check covers utilities so there is less to worry about. They have great amenities that can be used and the building is safe and secure.
response from property -Thank you for the sweet review. It makes us happy that you're happy here at UP. :) We hope you have a great weekend, and if there's ever anything you need from the front desk please let us know!
submitted by Sonia N. - |Recommended: YesOne of of the best places I have ever lived — This is a great apartment. Even though it is a little more expensive compared to other apartments, this apartment is meant for students to be able to live in. I like how they have days where there is free food, how the mailboxes are inside versus outside, the office located inside the building, etc. When picking up a package, it is inside rather than being outside in order to prevent it from being stolen. I like how this apartment helps you find a roommate in case you do not have one. This is by far one of the best places I have ever lived during my time at Northern Illinois University.
response from property -Sonia, Thank you for giving us your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve the property! We are really happy you're enjoying your new home, and if there's anything you need or want to ask us please call or come down to the front and we would love to assist. :) - UP
submitted by Kelly S. - |Recommended: YesBest Place to Live as a Student in DeKalb — Great place to live in DeKalb. The staff are friendly and Christina has always been super nice and helpful with any of my questions or concerns. Parking is never an issue, and the parking lot is usually plowed by the time I leave for class. The price of rent is worth it because it includes all amenities, and I always feel safe within the building and my apartment.
response from property -Thank you for the kind review! We look forward to having you all year, and hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. Please feel free to contact the front office if there's anything you may need in the future :) - UP

submitted by Patrick B. - |Recommended: YesBest place to live while at NIU — It's the best place to live at if you're looking for a nice apartment while learning at NIU. The only issues are that you can hear your neighbors somewhat well, which can be troublesome for when you want to just relax in peace and quiet.

submitted by Alex H. - |Recommended: YesGreat Place to Live — I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. I was in grad school while living here and I was able to get to campus fast, and the business center helped out a lot with printing papers and forms. The space was comfy and I get I had a great overall stay
response from property -We love our staff and community! Thank you for choosing to be apart of our home, and we hope you continue to enjoy your time here at University Plaza. Have a wonderful week! - UP
submitted by Chris K. - |Recommended: YesVery well kept and staff are always available to help — I lived on the 8th floor and it was a love hate relationship. It was nice living on the top floor because you don’t have to worry about anyone making noise above you but, my room got very hot even if you had the air on or the windows wide open. Other than that, UP is a great place to live
response from property -Thank you for the honest review and insight on our property. If you have any issues with your lease/apartment and don't feel like you have all the answers you need, please feel free to come back to the front and speak with a manager. We are always happy to help and we want to make sure you're happy. Thank you again for the insight, and we hope you have a wonderful week! - UP
submitted by Carly D. - |Recommended: YesNice place — Very comfortable to live at. Loved that I didn’t need to buy and move-in a couch and bed mattress. Place is kept very clean and the staff are super nice.
response from property -Thank you for review! We are happy to offer a home where students can come back and relax. Have a wonderful rest of your week!
submitted by Erin W. - |Recommended: YesNice, pretty much always clean — It’s really nice that everything is included in the rent and the amenities are great

submitted by Emily C. - |Recommended: YesNeat and unique — There are very nice amenities available, as well as fun events going on frequently.
response from property -Thank you for the kind review! We are happy you're happy. If there's anything you need in the future, the front desk is always open to you! Have a wonderful day. - UP
submitted by Blake H. - |Recommended: YesGreat place to live — I’ve lived here at UP for awhile and I have no complaints about it. It’s been phenomenal. The one common gripe I hear from others is the cost yet no one seems to realize that it’s a single consolidated cost which covers all your bills and is cheaper than paying everything individually. So debunking the common complaint, there are no other reasons for someone to not move in.
response from property -Thank you so much for the kind review! We strive to make sure you're happy and comfortable in your new home. We hope you continue to enjoy living here. Please let us know if there's anything you need at the front and we wish you a happy Tuesday. -UP
