South Residential District – Classic Campus Experience and Social Vibes

The South Residential District is rich in Buckeye tradition and offers a more classic campus feel with beautiful green spaces and historic buildings. It's centrally located, making it easy to reach most academic buildings, the Ohio Union, and cultural landmarks.

Key Benefits:
  • Steps away from the vibrant Ohio Union, home to events, dining options, and student services.
  • Nearby dining at Kennedy Commons and various off-campus options along High Street.
  • Residence halls foster a strong sense of community and social interaction.

This area is ideal for students looking to immerse themselves in campus life, participate in events, and enjoy the social heart of Ohio State.
