Not up, but out

Pietro Alfano

Most schools pride themselves on how big they are, or on new additions to there school. Like many other issues AU differs from other institutions.

Aurora University, although very conveniently laid out. Pales in compression to other Universities its size. As you may know Aurora U does not have any building taller then four stories. "Aurora can't have any buildings taller then four stories, but that doesn't mean there not growing" explained A.U.S.A president Cody Fuerst. He explained that the university is actually expanding in the direction of Prairie. Adding a welcome center and building more building for groups to meet.

Another issues for AU is the field. Although almost every sports teams at AU use the football field, the absence of lights makes it hard for teams to put in that extra effort. No lights? You ask, on a college field? It's true, the community doesn't want the lights for whatever reasoning. Maybe there scared that opposing schools fans will act like Cubs fans after the games, using the community as an outdoor restroom.

Whatever the issue may be the university is doing its best to try and expand. Even if up is out of the question, they can always go out. So lets keep our fingers crossed and pray that there first addition, is as parking lot.
