Say 'Yes!' to OSU Housing

What our residents are saying
Experience the value and the convenience of OSU Housing. Discover new, opportunities and make life-long friends.

Value

  • One bill. There's value in living in university housing. Furnished units, rent, utilities, cable and internet are rolled into one bill. No deposit is required. 
  • Nine-month lease. Your lease begins in the fall and runs through the spring semester. Ask about summer leases, too.
  • Unlimited, free laundry. Using the laundry facilities is free of charge—just bring your supplies. Laundry rooms are located in every residence hall. Apartments feature a washer and dryer in each unit. 
  • Public and private spaces. Whether you need a quiet place to study or a kitchen to make the gang a spaghetti dinner, we’ve got a space for every occasion.

Relationships

  • Peer advisers. Community mentors (CM) are fellow students trained to help you navigate college life and make the most of living on campus.
  • Beyond the classroom. Consider applying for one of the Living Learning Programs and stay engaged—even when class is over.
  • Meet new friends. Residential halls are close-knit communities with friends-to-be around the corner or next door.

Convenience

  • Eliminate the commute. Many students choose to work at OSU. Work can be as easy as walking downstairs. Apply now!
  • Close to what matters. Classes, library, the big game—anywhere you want to go is minutes away by bike, scooter, bus or on foot.
  • Technology. ResLife provides fast, personal at-home-style Internet and Wi-Fi service with great customer support. Look for computer labs/printers near Desk Services.
  • 24/7 maintenance. Repairs and maintenance are a phone call away. 
  • Safety. In addition to card-swipe access to residence halls, staff providing health and safety checks, we work closely with OSU Police and other agencies to keep everything secure.
