Ashland is a fantastic school for business and education majors. For education majors, they get you out into the field during your freshmen year and by your sophomore year, you are working with students in a teaching role. For business majors, there is an actual stock exchange room that students participate in. Ashland University also takes pride in its small class sizes. Most classes are capped at 25 so you can get personalized attention from professors and get to know your classmates well. The learning environment at AU is great for getting students ready for the real world.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There are so many fun, exciting ways to get involved on campus at Ashland. From varsity sports, to club sports to intramurals, there is a level of competition for everyone who wants to play sports. There many clubs and organizations on campus making it easy to find a group of people with the same interests as you. Campus is not too big or too small, the food is AMAZING with so many choices every day and we have a great rec center with weight machines, free weights, treadmills and other cardio equipment, basketball courts, indoor soccer, an indoor track, a simulated golf room, pool, ping pong and a huge swimming pool.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
While Ashland is pretty expensive, the level of experience you get in your field and the quality of the education you will receive make it all worth it. Plus, they do a great job at helping you pay for your tuition as almost everyone receives money for their high school GPA and ACT/SAT scores.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit campus! Visiting AU is a great way to get a feel for the campus. My advice would be to go during the week because you receive a personal visit. It is just you and your family and you visit with an admissions counselor in their office and that is when you can ask any question you want about anything. Then, you get a personal tour of campus and you get to see any part of campus you wish! It's really the best way to visit. Plus, if you visit on a weekend, you don't get to experience campus in motion. Most likely during a weekday visit, you will see people walking to and from class. You're not part of a big group and you get to experience Ashland on a more personal level.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Ashland is great for all types of students. Those who know exactly what they want to major in and even those who don't. There is something for everyone.
