The small rural community of Ås is located approximately 35 kilometers south of Oslo and approximately 12 kilometers from Drøbak, a seaside town on the the Oslo Fjord.

The municipality has seven elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. They are three parishes in Ås; Kroer, Ås and Nordby.

The local newspapers include Ås Avis and Østlandets Blad. Tuntreet is the monthly NMBU-student magazine. The articles are primarily in Norwegian, but a small portion of each edition is translated to English (towards the back).
