Off-Campus and Commuter Student Engagement

Update

Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities will be administered in compliance with the law as of June 27, 2025.

Every year, thousands of students look to move into off-campus rental properties. Most have never faced the challenge of finding a new place to live and are confronted with numerous options and choices.

The Ohio State University Off-Campus Housing Network establishes certain criteria (PDF) for off-campus property owners. Those property owners that commit to meeting these criteria will be considered in-network.
