Office of Admission and Financial Aid - Freshman Students

Why Aurora?

• The atmosphere at Aurora University is very accepting and friendly. The professors have a ton of office hours and are willing to help when needed. I also like that there are plenty of places to sit and study or just hang out with friends. -Susan '06 Aurora, Ill. Elementary Education
