Aurora University is truly inclusive: professors no their students by name and truly connect, even outside of the classroom. The campus has many socially-orientated organizations that deal with issues such as homelessness, human rights, and voluneering, and they are all fantastic! The sports teams also all seem to be really tightly-knit.

Alexis

I loved how small the class sizes were compared to all other schools. I never liked big classes so it was perfect! Along with how the school provides classrooms online for education majors and partnership schools that keep all of their students involved throughout their time at Aurora. They keep all the education majors strongly involved with the schools in the area and throw us in with the faculty as soon as possible.

What makes my school unique is that it is small schools with 2000 students giving a more intimate feel than bigger schools have. The teachers work hard to try and help each student to the best of their abilities and the students know each other pretty well here. The teachers try to get students interested in activities happening at the school and help them find internships. The posters around school are of students who actually go to this school and when you visit this school you feel welcomed into it from the moment you get here.

From the first day I visited Aurora Unversity, it felt like home away from home. The atmosphere was so inviting, friendly, caring and it just felt right. I have one semester under my belt here at AU and it's been great so far. The professors are so willing to help you succeed. My advisor has been on top of my program of study to make sure I'm on track with my class selections. All in alll, I'm very satified with my choice. AU has exceeded my expectations.

Maribel

It is a small campus so it is very easy to get around and no people on campus. This also helps with the class sizes because I promise your professors will remember you.

Cynthia

I love the small campus feel Aurora University offers. Students and faculty are friendly and very helpful. Class sizes are small, but it's great to get to know your classmates and professors on a one on one basis. There is always something to do on campus; whether it's extracurricular activities, hanging out with friends, on campus jobs, and more. I learn a lot in my classes which has also helped me outside of school and apply it in my intenships. Tuition is fair, and AU has great resources for students to make college affordable.

Nicole

Aurora University is unique in finding out information about everything from social life, drama, or activities. The school is small therefore things spread quick across campus even where commuters find out the same information as on campus students.

Brittany

Aurora University is the perfect sized campus for me; it's not too big but it's not too small. Life on campus is a very friendly and comfortable environment and it's easy to make new friends with similar interests and similar academic/career paths. As opposed to some of the other institutions I had considered, Aurora University makes me feel extremely welcome, at home, and appreciated.

Natalia

Auroa University has free printing, and also a place in the library for the study to study is absolutely quite atmosphere.

Autumn

The classroom sizes are small and the professors take a serious interest in their students academic success.

Casey

The campus is small and compact, so getting from one class to another in a short amount of time is easy. If the weather is bad (such as rain storms) it is easy to get from one building to another to stay dry and safe. Aurora University has a lot of events that they plan for students that are a lot of fun and an easy way to get to know a lot of people. Some of the events are hypnotists and psychics.

Samantha

It's close to home for me which is great! It has a great program for Business majors. The thing that won me over is the May term, which offers a three week international business course in which you can study abroad for about a week, as well as study in the classroom. It is a great opportunity for me and the career path I have chosen. They also help students find internships that can turn into potential jobs.

Yanni

One aspect of the Aurora Institution that i would consider unique is the rate at which we obtain jobs and careers for our graduates. Though there are many other unique qualities about Aurora, I feel this is most important because the reason we attend college is to obtain a job. So if they are providing jobs at a high rate for graduates it is a wonderful opportunity to come out of college and enter directly into the work force.

Julie

AU has a BSN program that allows for me to take my classes in a cohort program in a hosptial near me. I also meet with a tutor that is part of my tuition, convienent times, too.

Alyssa

My school is a private school, it is much smaller than the other schools i looked at which i love because it gives me one on one time with all my teachers.

TaSean

Compared to Missouri, Minnesota, and Illinoise State, Aurora University is able to provide lectures within classrooms with a maximum of 20 students and with professors who have very flexible after-hours to help any student that requests for extra help. If prospective students are looking for a school that can honestly provide professors with the extra time to meet up and aid students, Aurora University would be one of the best schools to consider.

Emiliano

The small campus size and the friendly environment really helped sway my choice to Aurora University. Everyone I met was friendly and everything seemed within reasonable walking distance; the school just felt right. Other schools I visited had too many frat houses and people shouting all over campus. Aurora University seemed peaceful in comparison.

Alberto

Small community based university

Sarah

I like that the counselors and teachers do their best to help you succeed in class, and help you meet deadlines for anything else you need for your degree. The campus likes to get their students involved in campus activities, and other students are easy to meet and get along with.

theresa

I liked the nursing program. I felt it was a good match for me. I also like the school campus. It is a small school that is in the middle of a cute neighborhood. I am not an urban, city girl so a college in a nice,close area was important to me.

Stefanie

I have had a learning disability since age three, and so I need help and clarification from teachers in order to understand concepts and lessons taught in class. I am able to email teachers at Aurora University or make appointments to meet with them out of class and that helps with reassurance. Some teachers at the University are willing to help if asked and I like that they take the time to walk lessons through with me.

Robin

Well compared to my other choices Aurora University has really small class sizes. For example, last semester in my Biology class there was only 10 students total in the class, it was nice because then we had the chance to become more familiar with each other and it felt like we had a clser relationship with the teacher.

Patricia

There are two factors that stand out to me as an undergrad student at Aurora University. The first is the oppurtunities that arise from our Criminal Justice program. The program offers guest speakers, tours of facilities, ride-alons, and internships. By participating in these different oppurtunities, we can gain experience before looking for a job. The next thing that I founf the most unique about this school is the size. The small size allows students to make friends easily, stay on task, and get as much help as needed in classes!

Constance

I love the location of Aurora University! Being close to my home allows me to take classes while my children are in school but be close enough to get to them if they need me.

Aubrey

The uniqueness of Aurora University is the reason I chose to attend this school. It is the only school in the state of Illinois that was willing to work with me on my unusual combination of my major and minor. Aurora is willing to work with students in order for them to accomplish their goals, and I feel that is the most important thing in a university. Thanks to them, I will be versatile and competitive in my field.

Samantha

What I found to be unique about Aurora University is the sense of small community on the campus. I loved the size of the school because I had gone to a pretty small high school, so I was not ready for a huge university. I loved the idea of being able to have one-on-one time with professors and that the enrollment was not a gigantic number - I'd be able to pass someone and at least know their first name or recognize them. The other schools I looked at did not have those traits.

Kristen

The unique thing about Aurora University is my favorite part of the school. The size of the campus is small enough that the class sizes remind me of my high school class sizes. Not many colleges that I have looked at have a class size over a hundred or a thousand and being under thirty it makes it a lot easier to succeed in.

Jasen

Aurora University offers an adult education program that allows adult students such as myself to continue pursuing their degree with class times scheduled to fit the working students schedule. Other Universities would have forced me to take a step back in my career in order to purse my degree. Aurora allows me to move forward with my career and my education goals.

Erica

Everything is more personal. People know eachother, there is someone is multiple classes, so there is always a recognizable face. You don't feel like you're thrown into a crowd of people to fend for yourself.

Alissa

Aurora University has a close-knit community feel to it. As a small school, students are able to develop great relationships with their peers, professors, and others on campus. This is extremely beneficial, not only in terms of developing long-lasting relationships, but educationally as well. Because of the small size of AU, students are able to benefit from working closely with their professors. This helps with learning, but is also a great way to network and branch out for job possibilities in the future.

My school has a great program for the major I am interested in.

Adam

Aurora University is unique for many reasons. One reason AU is unique is because of the diverse population of students who come from many class backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultural groups. AU is also unique because of the small class sizes and the overall care for the student's success. The groups and clubs present on campus also give the university a unique feel and amazing sense of community. Aurora University is a great place to grow and learn about one's self and others.

Ana

I love my school. It is a small school in a small city but thats what is unique abou it. The professors all know you and care about you. They will all try their best to help you if you need the help and if they see you arounf campus they will stop and say "hi". Even thoug it is a small campus in a small city there are people from all over the country. It is a very diverse school and that is why i picked that school. I liked the closenes of it .

tami

I had attended another college before Aurora University and the benefit was the help that was available. That was great to know.
