Standard Housing Rates

Ohio State offers a broad range of living and dining offerings so that each student can select the best options for individual preferences and needs. Charges that apply to living in University Housing include:

Room (based upon your residence hall selection/assignment)
Dining (based upon the plan you select, outlined on the Dining Services website)
Residence Hall Student Government Activity Fee ($20/semester)
If you are assigned to an academic-year residence hall which remains open during winter and spring break periods, you will be assessed an additional $125 with your housing fees.

Students should check their University Statement of Account before each session begins. Students are responsible for understanding the fee structures and obligations and for sharing fee information with others, such as parents and/or guardians, who may be paying fees on their behalf. Fees are due at the same time as tuition:

Fall Semester: August 18, 2015
Spring Semester: January 4, 2016

All fees shown in the renewal system are estimates only and should only be used for general planning purposes. All university fees are subject to approval by The Ohio State University Board of Trustees, and rates for the 2015-2016 academic year have not been approved.
