About Off-Campus Housing Near Ohio Wesleyan University
Ohio Wesleyan University keeps things intimate, with about 1,426 students on a leafy campus in Delaware, a historic county seat roughly 30 miles north of Columbus. The town runs on its old brick downtown around William Street, with local shops, the Saturday farmers market, and live music a short walk from class. Green space is everywhere: the Olentangy River trail threads through town, Mingo Park sits just east, and Delaware State Park is eight miles north for kayaking. Fall means football at Selby Stadium and traditions that pull alumni back. Campus is walkable end to end, you can get most places on foot or by bike, and Columbus is a quick drive for a bigger night.
Ohio Wesleyan University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Ohio Wesleyan is a residential college, so full-time undergrads are expected to live in campus housing for all four years unless they qualify for an exemption. The usual exemptions cover students who are 23 or older, fifth-year seniors, legally married, parents of dependent children, or local students from select central Ohio high schools who keep living with a parent or guardian and commute.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Most students who move off campus do it as upperclassmen with an approved exemption, so file that paperwork with Residential Life early. Once you are cleared, Delaware's rental scene is mostly small landlords, historic houses, and a handful of newer apartment communities rather than big by-the-bed complexes. Some set occupancy caps tied to city code, and a few want renters insurance.
Lease Timing
Many older homes split utilities oddly, so read the lease closely. Tour in person when you can, since listing photos of century-old houses can hide a lot.
