Housing
Living on campus offers many advantages and has been proven to enhance students' success at Ohio State. We do our best to find the one right for you.
Campus housing is home to first-year and upperclass students. All unmarried, full-time students within a year of high school graduation must live on campus, unless exempted, space is no longer available, or they are living with family. Advantages of on-campus housing include:
- Convenient location to classes
- Resident advisors are assigned to every floor to help with the transition to college and having roommates
- Full-time professional staff live in each housing complex
- The ability to develop lasting friendships and make lifelong memories
- Opportunity for involvement in student life
