What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Andrew

I wish that I had known that the easiest way to meet new students as a commuter is by attending campus events, spending time in the social areas on campus, and getting involved in multiple activities.

Jessica

Before going to college, I wish I had known that Aurora University looks for ways to take more of your money. I got a parking ticket for parking in the wrong parking lot, when the parking lot I was supposed to park in was full. The University told me one day before my key was due that there would be a fine if not returned, and this was over Chistmas Break! Also, my tuition is extremely expensive and the school had me under the impression that my scholarship would cover the majority of it, but it does not.

Spencer

I wish I would have known how to balance finances better than what they are now.

Brittany

In all honesty, there is nothing that I didn't know before attending Aurora University that I wish I would have known. I knew everything that I needed to know prior to attending Aurora University. The staff are excellent in welcoming incoming students and informing them of everything that they need to know in order to develop successful academic careers at Aurora University.

Sarah

There is not much that I did not know about Aurora before attending. I did a visit and within one visit all of my questions were answered. If I had to choose something it would have been knowing the difference between my current major and my previous major, but that had nothing to do with the school itself. Aurora actually helped me get onto the right path with my current major.

Elias

Before coming to Aurora Univeristy I wish i would have known how low social life is here. I wish the university offered more events, concerts, and other activities for students to socialize and get to meet new people. The first few weeks of the semester were okay but as the year progressed the activities diminished.

I moved in on campus and screwed up because I felt like being more social. I wish I would have been more outgoing and willing to show people the real me from the start instead of fearing judgement by my peers. College is a new beginning.

Something I wish I would have known before I atteneded AU would me how to use my time wisely.

I wish I would have known that it was better to dorm at a small school. With it being such a small school, everyone gets so close. If you are a commuter you miss out on a lot of good relationships.
