Friday’s cooler temperatures were a welcome relief for students, parents and volunteers as freshman move-in day at Aurora University began at 10 a.m. Rivera-Mills said she hopes to connect with students and the new class by “being physically present on campus which was the reason I decided to live literally across the street from campus.”
Deborah Maue, senior vice president for enrollment and marketing, said the university “is welcoming a record number of freshmen this year.” Most of those moving in Friday were from the Chicago area including Melissa Ketter, 18, of Lake Villa, who said she chose the school because of her academic interests “and I was able to do basketball and track here.”“I’m really excited about meeting new friends and have met my roommate. She is also on the basketball team, and I think we’re going to get along,” Ketter said. “I’m the last one from my family to go to college. I didn’t get any tips from my siblings – just go there and enjoy it.
