Review of Ashland University

from Commercial Point, OH

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This school is great for education and business majors! There are more than 70 undergraduate programs here at Ashland but the majority of the students come here for business or education. They are great at getting you experience in the field you desire your freshman year. With the student to faculty ratio being 15:1 it allows your professors to really get to know you allowing it easier for the student to get help if needed.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

More than half of the students here are involved in campus activities including sports, intramurals, religious life, sororities, fraternities, and community service. It is very easy to get involved in something especially because there are wide variety of activities. They told us at orientation that the students involved in campus life were more likely to stay at Ashland so this encouraged man students to find something they were interested in. If you don't want to get involved there are always things going on on campus. We've had a variety of performers visit our school like illusionists, bands, comedians and many guest speakers including Bill Cosby! Also, we are nationally ranked for our dining services!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The overall tuition of almost $35,000 may be overwhelming but because this is a private school we can help pay for a lot of that. A large majority of the students receive a presidential scholarship based on their high school GPA and ACT scores. Also the financial aid office works very well with you personally to help you with any special requests or circumstances.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't be afraid of the price! Visit the campus it's beautiful! If you have any questions don't be afraid to contact someone they will be more thn willing to help you. Ashland has been awesome with keeping us updated on what we need for the future!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Ashland is great for students looking for a school that is not too big and not too small. It is also very popular for the Education and Business programs. It's also great for any one who likes really good food all the time!
