Aurora University Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

Guadalupe

The most frustrating thing is the amount of people just staying in the middle of the hallways just talking or slow walking with there friends. The other frustrating thing is the amount of noise in the libary downstairs by the computers and also in the quiet rooms upstairs. There is no way you can get anything done with such noise.

Nicole

The most frustrating thing about the school was the process for starting clubs or hosting events on the campus that were not already ran by current staff. There was alot of legal information and documentation to provide along with documentation to have signed, which made the process longer. Parking space was another issue since the school is located within a neighborhood. It made it difficult to make it to class on time.

Rebecca

One of the most frustrating things about my school is probably the lack of parking. Most students are not able to find parking after 8 am. In addition, most classes run until 4 or 5, so if a student was to have a visitor, the visitor might not be able to find any type of parking within a reasonable distance.

Jenna

There is not many night class options.

Anwar

So many of the teachers are Aurora University are adjunct and have no office hours so they can't help you when you aren't on their time. Also, the theatre department is so open to non-majors, the theatre majors get very little respect or priority.

Julie

The program requires a four hour class in the evening, it is a long class and some of the teachers have a hard time making the classes interesting due to the long hours.

Evelyn

The most frustrating thing about Aurora is finding parking. As a commuter there are times were finding parking is a hassle, but Aurora University offers parking stickers which eases the frustration by reserving parking space for those who purchase the parking permit.

The parking, I paid for a parking pass and I still have to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of 8am class to get a spot. If you move your car your out of luck. They should only sell as many parking passes as parking spaces. The school also needs to enforce the parking policy by giving tickets.

Melissa

From a social and entertainment perspective Aurora University can be frustrating. The school is located in residential areas so whenever you want to go to someone’s house from the dorms you have to find rides, because most people live off campus. Also bigger schools are able to have house for their sororities and frats, at Aurora University we cannot do that because of the location in residential neighborhoods.

Beth

I cannot think of a frustrating thing about this school so far, other than the lack of good sportsmanship among the student section at athletic events. But I believe that reflects upon the students moreso than the university.

Robin

I personally think that the library there is crap, it seems too small and when I need certain books for research projects and such they seem not to have them so then I have to go to the Aurora Public Libraries.

Alicia

Aurora University on occasion lacks organization within its programs which causes students to be required to attendend an extra year because they have not met major requirements; the instution needs to take into accout that, when it come to higer education, not all students are currently employed and they need to take that into consideration when developing curriculum.

Christina

The size and the decrease on weekend activities to keep students on campus.

Robert

The most frustrating thing about Aurora University is having to manage my time so that it works out with the schedules and times of what is open around campus. I am very active on campus with athletics and classes and it seems that sometimes there is no time for me to go eat or for me to be able to work out. I always have to accomodate to the schedules of when the fitness/weight rooms and buildings are open so that I can use the rest of the time to concentrate on school work.

Kariann

Hearing people complain but not do anything about it. We are a smaller school so if you want to make a change you can, but only if you put forth the effort.

Paula

There are many vices at this university that can bring students down quickly. I have fell victim to the frustrating effects that I have gotten when I had entered into my program. Slowly am I trenching my way back to the top and with guidance, pupils, and resources. At any university will there be frustrations but one must be able to look past that and fight for one's dream.

Kanwal

The most frustrating thing about my school is the financial aid department system they are not helpful neither solve the problems of the student we have to do our own and even they don' t tell the financial aid process to the new student. They even don't give the outside resources to hely you financially.

Erin

You have to seek out a lot of information in regards to your major.

Michael

There is nothing frustrating about my school. It's great!

Karen

The most frustrating thing I would say is how easily other students can email you forwards but its also a plus because you always knew what was going on.

Kevin

The school is small and not research based. This makes it hard for our school to buy equipement for science labs.

Nicole

The most frustrating thing is students who go to the college but do not put the effort into their work and distract other students from learning.

Mary

One of the most frustraing things about my school is the price of tuition (as it is with most schools!). It seems to get larger every year, and now that I live on campus, the price is even higher. I love it here, and I do not want want to leave, but the amount I have to pay makes it hard.

Amanda

dry campus, no greek houses allowed, there is a lot more blacks than anything else and they judge everyone

Jamie

The most frustrating thing about my school is the availability of certain classes. If not enough students sign up for a class it is cancelled. Seeing that the number of students that attend Aurora University is not as vast as some colleges, some classes are left with not enough interested students in taking the class. Therefore the class itself is deleted from a student's schedule.

Jenna

I think that the most frustrating think about Aurora University is that it doesn't recieve enough credit. It is in a small town and not a lot of people have heard of it. Therfore it is never really taken seriously. However, I believe that it is an amazing school. The teaching and counciling staff do an amazing job at helping to make your college experience successful. The school is very close knit. The class sizes are small and you see a lot of fimiliar faces, it allows an individual to feel very comfortable with attending the school.

verena

Not enough parking

Konstadina

I wish more people were involved in student organizations.

Allison

The work load can be a lot especially when you become a junior and I suppose a senior. The freshman and Sophomore year workload do not prepare you for what is to come.
