 | Average | | AU has a fantastic education program. If I was not in this major, I would transfer. It is in a small town, so it is safe, but also it can be boring. The campus is dry, and it is VERY hard to live off campus, due to strict regulations and policies. We have 3 bars/clubs in town and some people will have house parties, other than that... nothing in terms of going out. If you are planning on going to Au, go greek!!! Seriously... my sisters keep me sane. Classes are usually small and the professors have all worked in the field. Like I said, I am an education major and my classes are so helpful! I was in the field observing as a freshman and teaching by sophomore year. 90% of my professors are amazing and extremely helpful and full of advice. The dorms are pretty decent... nothing special, just typical small college rooms. There are singles and suites available, but they are in high demand. Students of junior status are capable of buying out their room, which means they live in a regular room, with no roommate. I bought out my room, and I have to recommend it because I spend so much time in my room, its nice not to have to worry about a roommate. Overall, Au is generally a good school and they care about you as a student and as a person. Yeah, the town sucks, but it is worth it for education majors to check out because we are one of the best in Ohio & the USA. The campus has some weird regulations and that can get annoying, but there is always someone there to help. Also, freshman are allowed to have cars their first year... a rarity among Ohio universities. I really hope this helps! I tried to be honest and neutral. | Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: F | | | |

| Bright | I am a freshman in Early Childhod Education. The education program here is great, the classes are small, and the staff is friendly. This is the most boring school ever. People sit in their dorm rooms on Friday and Saturday nights and study. There is nothing fun in the town of Ashland. There are no good parties on campus. If you want to have any fun in college do not go here. The people are very cliquey and close-minded. Greek life is defidently the best way to go. The food is not bad here but the places are always closed. There's nowhere close to campus that is open after midnight. Most people don't like it here and plan on transfering. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: F | | | |

| Average | Transferring to Ashland University was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. The school is more concerned about money than anything else. They raise the tuition every single year, but never raise the amount of scholarships no matter how good your academic performance is. They will often convince potential students that the price "isn't as much as it seems" but that is a lie. After spending three years here, I will have almost $70,000 in student loans. The academic scholarship I recieved barely covers a third of the cost of going here. In addition, the retention rate of the school is 42%, one of the worst in the state! There is a reason people do not stay here: because it is not worth the money. Also the administration of the school is highly unethical. They treat students like they are expendable and punish innocent people. I was assaulted by a residence assistant and did not throw a single punch back and I was still given sanctions by the school. They will treat you like a little kid, unless you have family who donate large amounts of money to the school in which case you can get away with anything. The overall mission of Ashland University is to take your money, give you a mediocre education, and to violate your rights to benefit the school. DO NOT GO TO ASHLAND UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!! | Scholastic Success: A, Individual Value: F | | | |
