| The University
is part of the small city of Ashland where people
are friendly and welcoming to international students.
A sign just outside of town truthfully declares,
"Welcome to Ashland: World Headquarters
of Nice People". The quiet, peaceful city
is about an hour from Ohio's largest cities--Cleveland
and Columbus. Ashland University is located in
a residential area of the city, about a ten-minute
walk from downtown.
