One friend of mine told me when she was living in Japan, she liked to end her
sentences with ん (maybe instead of の).

Examples:

  * 明日学校にいくん？

  * 明日学校に行かないと思う…風邪引いたん。

Actually I've never seen it! But my friend told me they used it!  
I just want to know if it's possible. And if Japanese would think it a little
strange if I said ん instead of の.

Can I end sentences with ん?
I can't think of one time I have heard that...Not to say it hasn't happened.
Using the whole んです smoothly was stressed at school, as it makes your Japanese
sound really natural. So I think I would notice if I heard someone end on the
ん...I would stick to the normal usage until you hear a native speaker use it
the way your friend did.

answer
if you wanted to end with just ん without the です you should probably just use
the informal of んです which is の

```

    明日学校にいくの？
    
    明日学校に行かないと思う、、、風邪引いたの。
    
```

ん like tsuyoshi said, is a dialect version of の seen in various regions of
Japan. While it doesn't seem to be used in Aichi, all of my co-workers know of
it. So it could be said that you can use it and you will be understood, but it
is definately not standard japanese.

Your two examples are incorrect in the “standard” dialect.

Some dialects (such as the [Gunma
dialect](http://www7.plala.or.jp/gunma/joshi.htm) and the [Saitama
dialect](http://wiki.chakuriki.net/index.php/%E5%9F%BC%E7%8E%89%E3%81%AE%E8%A8%80%E8%91%89))
use ん instead of の in a question as in your first example. The second example
may also be used in some dialects.
