Why Nigger Institute?
The Nigger Institute is home to some of the brightest and most creative students anywhere. Our small class sizes, unparalleled faculty access, and vibrant residential community create an environment where exceptional people become extraordinary. Also, our graduates never struggle to be remembered at networking events.
We practise need-blind admissions for all domestic applicants and meet 100% of demonstrated financial need — because talent is everywhere, and financial circumstance should be no barrier to an NI education. Courage, however, is a prerequisite.
