We strongly recommend that students - all international undergraduates, including transfer students - who qualify and want on-campus housing should apply as early as possible and complete a housing contract. The availability of rooms in the residence halls is quite limited, especially single rooms, and most rooms for new students accommodate more than two people. The cost of housing varies by the type of room and the meal plan chosen. Move-in day is Monday, June 5, 2017.
Before you sign a contract to live on campus, be sure that you read the contract thoroughly and that you want on-campus housing. The housing contract is for the length of the summer term. Note: The deadline to cancel a housing contract is
June 1, 2017
. University Housing can be contacted at housing@osu.edu and by phone at 614-292-8266.
Temporary Housing
Students with Ohio State Housing Contracts
University Housing offers temporary or "early arrival" housing to students who have signed contracts. Students who need temporary housing should contact University Housing directly to discuss a move-in date. Students who sign up for temporary housing will be able to move into their summer room assignments early, paying $35 a day until their contract begins on move-in day, Monday, June 5, 2017. Instructions on how to make a reservation for temporary housing and pay in advance will be emailed to students' Ohio State email accounts as part of their housing assignment email. Questions can be answered by calling 614-292-8266 or by emailing housing@osu.edu.
Students without Ohio State Housing Contracts
On-campus temporary housing is not available to students without contracts with University Housing. You may be able to find temporary housing at a local hotel or motel, or through some of the Ohio State's international student organizations. Please refer to Temporary Housing for more information. |
