Living

The Ashland campus is near some of Wisconsin's most breathtaking scenery. Pine forests give way to rocky cliffs that descend to the clean beaches of the largest Great Lake. The campus is centrally located to many area recreational attractions.

Arts and Culture

Known as the "Historic Mural Capital of Wisconsin," Ashland's pride in its rich history is evident in its 18 vibrant murals highlighting a particular aspect of the city's soulful past, depicting subjects ranging from the city's lumberjacks and military veterans to its railroads, storefronts and former massive ore dock. After checking out the "mural walk" on Main Street, you can take a walk on the Waterfront Trail, check out Prentice Park, visit one of the many beaches in town, or participate in one of the many festivals or events held throughout the year.

Ashland is a recreational playground for hunters, anglers, boaters, skiers, snowmobilers, hikers, bikers, kayakers, campers and anyone who enjoys the outdoors. The campus is centrally located to many area recreational attractions including the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, thousands of acres of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, countless pristine inland lakes, ice caves, beaches, lighthouses, waterfalls and miles of rivers and streams.
