About Student Housing in Columbus
Columbus, Ohio is the state capital and its largest city, home to roughly 910,000 and a young, fast-growing population that revolves heavily around Ohio State University. OSU is one of the biggest campuses in the country, and its students dominate the University District wrapping campus along North High Street, giving the area relentless college energy. From there you can drift south into the Short North arts district and Victorian Village, or north into the quieter blocks of Old North and Clintonville. The city keeps green space close with the Olentangy Trail, the Scioto Mile, and Goodale Park, while museums and a packed festival calendar fill out the culture. Add college and pro sports, and Columbus gives students a real big-city backdrop.
