The Perfect Location for Your College Experience
Right after Southern Oregon University’s (SOU’s) stellar academic programs, it’s our location that makes us truly unique. Ashland was selected as a top 10 finalist in Outside magazine’s search for the “Best Town in America.” Our recreation- and culture-rich location provides everything you need for the ultimate college experience.
SOU’s picturesque campus allows you and your family to take advantage of a variety of outdoor activities, like hiking or kayaking. Take a study break or plan a family weekend enjoying the great outdoors around some of our best natural resources such as Mount Ashland, Rogue River, Crater Lake, and Lithia Park.
Not a fan of the outdoors? Ashland also has other easily accessible activities to explore, like:
- the Oregon Shakespeare Festival,
- Britt Festival concerts,
- the Ashland Library,
- the Oregon Cabaret Theatre,
- art galleries, and
- cool shops and one-of-a-kind eateries.
However, one of the best parts of Ashland is something that can’t really be listed as a sight to see or activity to do—our close-knit sense of community.
Come visit SOU and you’ll understand the reason so many students fall in love with our location. See you soon in Ashland, Oregon!
