Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Ashford appears to have students from all different ethnicities, and everyone seems to get along well, accepting other students for who they are. Most students at Ashford are more career-oriented than typical college campuses, but they have personalities like any other student—creative or artsy, friendly, fun, geeky, hardworking, smart, and outgoing.

School organizations at Ashford's brick and mortar campus include fraternities and sororities, and sports like basketball, football, and soccer. However, for students who attend Ashford online, very few really know anything about any of these organizations. For students who attend Ashford's physical campus, students say that there is a lot of interaction in the classroom, where the students hang out, study together, and participate in clubs. However, 99 percent of Ashford's students are attending school online, so the students who attend Ashford's actual campus usually are there to learn and then go home.

Student Body Review

The student diversity at Ashford is wonderful. There are people of all different backgrounds that attend. There are the traditional younger students, to the later in life, working, family type students. We all have the same goals but we are so different. There are epople who live all over the world attending class, these are military families and it is often interesting to hear about where they are and what their experiences have been. This school has a little a bit of everything and everyone.

I do not feel comfortable rating the student body. I did not have any interaction with anyone outside my class and often felt as though other students did not put in effort towards their degrees.

Diverse Body

I have attended Ashford's online community for two years and during that time I have found that the student body here come from all walks of life. From the working mom to the soldier in the field, anybody can attend as long as they have a basic working knowledge of computers, can utilize their time and be driven to write that paper even after a long 8 hour shift at work.
