In its thirty years, Ashbourne has had thousands of students. Many of these students have found their years at Ashbourne amongst the happiest and most rewarding of their lives, both socially and academically.

Ashbourne has a thriving relationship with its former students, many of whom still attend the annual Revue and still engage in other extra-curricular activities at the college. The friendliness and informality of the college engenders an attitude whereby former students and staff see the college as a place to re-visit. Some former students have even returned to the college as members of staff.
