University Plaza
|Recommended: YesIt’s nice but had flaws — I enjoyed living here up until this year when the ability to hear my neighbors so clearly became too much. It gets frustrating that the walls and ceiling’s are so paper thin so that you can hear everything. It is especially frustrating when people are inconsiderate and you can hear a party at 2 am on a Monday when people have to be up for work and classes and just want to sleep. I like the convenience to campus and it being fully furnished but it is pricey especially with the inconvenience of loudness, paying extra to park when it should be included as a resident, and other minor issues. I’ve lived here for 3.5 years and it was pretty great up until this year’s day now I just don’t have the patience to put up with some of the issues anymore or having my rent go up every year.
Hello Elayna,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us an honest review! We are glad to have you as a resident here for the 3-4 years and choosing us to be your apartment complex with us being so close to campus. To address the pricing, we understand that our competitors may charge differently but what we offer that they don't are built-in utilities, student-related amenities, cable package, and fully furnished apartments. Our security system is a 24/7 on-site on-call process that is also a benefit of living here. You can always feel free to call our 24/7 on-call staff to address the noise. We look out for our residents and want to help you have a great time here at University Plaza. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns as we are happy to help you at the front desk! Have a wonderful rest of your week!

|Recommended: YesBest place to live in Dekalb — If you plan on going to NIU university plaza is the best housing option. Apartments are all well kept, maintenance always responds right away when you need anything worked on and as far as safety the night security guard makes sure everyone is following Covid guidelines as well as goes around all floors to make sure we’re all safe which is a big relief considering Dekalb isn’t the safest city.
