Aurora University Top Questions

Well, I would have to say the cost of an education.l I am married and trying to educate my three boys as well as myself. It is very difficult in this economy. I work full time as a Nurse and go to school to complete my BSN in Nursing. My oldest will beginning college this Fall and I am torn because I need to finish my degree and money is a challege at this time.

The Spring semester will be my first semester at this school, so I cannot answer yet.

This is my second semester in Aurora University and I love it.

I condider the water that is in our dorm buildings the worst aspect of our school. The water should not smell like rotten eggs. I do not drink from the water fountains for the same reason. My advice to future college students is that they need to be prepared to buy bottled water. With all the stress of homework and final exams, trust me you will need it.

The worst part of Aurora University is the financial aid office. The people that work there are rude.

The worst thing I consider at my school would be the academic advisory that we have there. Most of the time I feel like I haven't recieved any help and that I'm stuck doing everything on my own. When I do go for help, I get accused of doing everything wrong. My advisors sometimes make me feel less confident about myself and my future however I keep my head up and keep pushing.

There are very few bad things about my college but if I had to choose one, it would be the noise that can occur in the computer labs while trying to study. Sometimes, students are very inconsiderate and will play music and converse loudly.

The size. It is too small.

Living on-campus is very expensive and the quality of the dorms is not very nice. The wireless internet does not work very often in the dorm buildings and there have been issues with the heat, bathrooms, etc.

Definitely the faculty in financial aid and advising. They are so preoccupied with their own lives that they really don't take the time to listen or understand you. When I asked my advisor about my options since I had to start a new full-time Monday-Friday job, she told me I had to research everything myself. She offered me less than minimal help.
