Guest Rooms:

The Ohio State University is divided into three residential areas: North, South, and West Campus, though West Campus is not used for accommodations. The summer residence halls are air-conditioned by default, though we offer other options at a lower cost if interested. Each room contains a combination twin-xl bed per occupancy, a clothes storage system, a desk, and a microwave/refrigerator. Internet is included for free through our WIFI@osu guest system.

North Campus:

• Ohio State University's North Campus is known for its modern facilities and proximity to academic buildings, especially for STEM fields. The area includes several residence halls, such as the Blackburn, Scott, and Torres houses, which offer amenities like study rooms, fitness areas, and dining facilities, including the popular Scott Dining Hall. Rooms on North Campus are air-conditioned with either suite-style bedrooms and private baths or traditional rooms with community "pod-style" bathrooms. The layout is walkable, with green spaces, plazas, and access to the North Recreation Center. This area is a lively community, with plenty of social activities, events, and organizations based nearby. The combination of academic proximity and modern amenities makes North Campus a popular choice.

South Campus:

• Ohio State University's South Campus is a vibrant residential area, popular among first- and second-year students due to its proximity to academic buildings, dining halls, and student life centers. Residence halls like Park-Stradley and Smith-Steeb offer air-conditioned, traditional-style rooms with community "pod-style" bathrooms, creating a social atmosphere. South Campus also offers a limited number of apartments with private baths and kitchenettes, typically reserved for intern housing.  Guests have easy access to recreational facilities like the RPAC, dining options such as Kennedy Commons and the Ohio Union, and academic buildings like Hagerty Hall. Additionally, South Campus is close to cultural and social spots like Mirror Lake and The Oval, making it a convenient and lively area for student life.

• A few apartment-style living options with kitchenettes are available but are limited as they are reserved for mainly individual intern housing. Check out our intern tab if you are interested!
