All of the classes relate to one another. Everything you learn in one class can somehow be applied to what you're learning in another. All of the teachers know each other and what courses they teach as well, so you can bring up these connections smoothly and they will know what you are talking about. There is also a huge emphasis on the field of education. All of the teachers are also very helpful and understanding, and keep up with students as individuals. The smaller classes allow for a more intimate learning environment as well.

Everything is small (Campus, dorms, people in the classes) this encourages people to make alot of friends their own age. Because it is a small school, help is often avaliable to students.

The best thing about the school is the size. It allows for easy navigation to class if one is late or has to make stops on the way to an on campus job. The size also allows for better learning. Professors are able to answer individual questions and really get to know students on a personal level.

I consider the best thing about my school is it's small campus and the great education that I am getting at this private university. It is convienient to have a small campus, since I live on campus it is nice not having to get up earlier to travel to my classes. The Business classes that I am in are very educational and beneficial for a business job in management that I plan to have after I graduate. I am very pleased with Aurora University overall. I am glad I chose AU!

I love that our school is a family like community. The professors and staff take the time out to get to know their students. I am a senior this year and I'm still treated the same friendly, caring, warm, welcoming way that I was when I visited the campus as a prospective student. The elementary education program is phenomenal! It's so unique and provides their teacher candidates with so many opportunites and experiences to learn and grow as a teacher! I feel confident in the classroom because I've already been able to teach for two years!

I like the Business classes they are very interactive and team based, Some of the teachers are more than willing to help you out as far as extra credit to pull your grade up. When given assignments you are told exactly what is needed to receive a good grade. When it comes to Gen Ed classes many of the teachers or at least the ones that I have had are not very eager to help you. I am talking mainly about the part time Math teachers.

I would consider the best thing about Aurora University is the class sizes. I really enjoy how there are only about 30 other students in the class and that is the most amount. By having the smaller class sizes I feel like I can really connect with the professor and be able to talk to them whenever I have a question about anything. They are really helpful and the small classroom environment helps make learning the material that much easier.
