Why Ashland?

At Ashland University, YOU are an individual. Your professors know you by name and your friends know what you stand for. Your journey to success is as unique as your thoughts, visions and ideas.

Students, like you, have been able to gain valuable, life-changing experience conducting research with professors, presenting at national conferences and landing internships. How you define your time here is completely up to you, whether you are involved in athletics, student organizations, spiritual groups or social events. With 70+ undergraduate programs and majors, 10 Master’s programs, two Doctor’s programs, small class sizes, conditional admission and intensive English programs available for low English-speaking students, Ashland University aims to accent each and every individual, international and domestic.

Located centrally between three major cities, Akron, Cleveland and Columbus, we are able to offer the advantages of an intimate campus experience in a small-town setting, with close proximity to shopping, dining, community and cultural activities, and a multitude of internship opportunities!  The city of Ashland has been listed in FBI studies as having the lowest violent crime rate of any city its size in the state.

Living on campus is about becoming a part of a community. Student housing options at Ashland University give students a sense of belonging and immersion into the campus culture. From exciting on-campus and in-hall activities, to benefits such as around-the-clock safety, maintenance, and resources all within 5 minutes of your hall, student housing allows you to focus on academics and develop your lifestyle.

Residence life is more than just a room…

We are proud to offer a variety of living environments based on your interests and preferences! Options range from apartment-style accommodations for seniors to living-learning communities and a variety of room configurations (e.g. single-occupancy, double-occupancy, triple-occupancy). Each hall on campus also has a Hall Council, a student driven group that plans programs for the hall and recommends changes and upgrades for facilities and policies within the hall.

International Club

The International Club and community create a warm and welcoming environment, and offer many opportunities and events for international students. With over 300 international students from over 30 countries, you will have many opportunities to meet friends from all over the world.
