We'd love to hear from you about helpful resource and activities you would like to see at the next Off-Campus Living Expo. Email us at offcampus@osu.edu with your ideas!

Why attend?

  • Are you looking for off-campus housing? 
  • Getting a head start on next year's lease? 
  • Have all that covered but are wondering what the next steps are? 
  • Do you love free food and prizes?! 

If you said YES to any of these things then the Off-Campus Living Expo is for you! 

The Off-Campus Living Expo is an interactive event for Ohio State students, parents, faculty and staff to gather information about off-campus living and safety. The expo features members of The Ohio State University's Off-Campus Housing Network which is comprised of property owners or managers, ownership groups and management companies who own and/or operate the rental properties in the University District and throughout Franklin County. Members in the Off-Campus Housing Network communicate regularly with Ohio State and commit to additional safety and community requirements annually. 

Additionally, you'll have the chance to connect with:

  • City of Columbus departments and community organizations (ex. University District Organization, Code Enforcement)
  • Safety resources (ex. Columbus Fire Department, OSU Police Department)
  • University departments (ex. Nike U-Move, Student Advocacy)
  • Local businesses to support your off-campus living experience (ex. Student Legal Services and more!)
