Live in the Business Careers House, a living-learning community of NIU Residence Halls for College of Business students, and connect with business faculty and fellow students.
Live with other business majors in the NIU’s newly remodeled Grant C Tower (see photos). Grant Tower offers remodeled rooms, bathrooms, and common areas, is close to student parking and the Campus Recreation Center.

Hi Nick,

Nice articles. Yes agree with you this problem being faced by every student while changing schools. Will be in lots of confusion and pressure of about which school to choose and which will be better as there are many options out there.

I enjoyed reading your post. For the most part, because I share what you are describing, but also because this is real–glad to know that I am not all that crazy!
Good luck on your senior year!

Mr. Barsema, Thank you for reading my post and for the kind words. I strive to maintain authenticity and honesty in my posts so please rest assured knowing that my sentiments towards Barsema Hall are real and that they are shared by my peers as well! Perhaps I will see you soon and cash in that offer on the hot dog (or a salad…I think the freshman fifteen caught me a little late!). Thanks again for your support and I send my best to you and your family. Nick

Nick, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about Barsema Hall. Stacey and I are always humbled by the generous thoughts and words of the students when relating their experiences in Barsema Hall. We are glad that so many of you consider this to be your “home”. I was especially warmed when I saw you mention “Dads Pond”. My dad, Harold Barsema, passed away in 1999, several years before we made the donation to build Barsema. Dad always loved water, and in his final years, lived with my Mom on a lake in Minnesota. I couldn’t think of a better way to memorialize a great man by naming a lake (OK…a pond!) after him that is enjoyed by so many students. He always found water to be very relaxing and peaceful, and I’m glad to hear that Dads Pond brings many of you peace, too. Track me down when you see me in Barsema (I’m there every Tuesday and Thursday teaching), and I’ll be happy to buy you that hotdog (or something a bit more healthy)! Best, Dennis

Comment on Thoughts: Creativity and Identity by Nick Kochetta

Johnny, those are all great points. It was a tough topic for me to address. I really just wanted others to be conscious of it in their daily lives. As you mentioned in your comment, I too had mixed feelings about the issue of creativity and identity in work but I’m glad you shared your perspective. Thanks for your feedback! As always, we appreciate it!
