Community Commitment

Your Commitment

The Off-Campus Housing Network is a partnership across our community that will support an iconic off-campus residential experience. Property owners that participate in the the Ohio State Off-Campus Housing Network will commit to pre-determined criteria and be considered in-network. Those property owners in-network will be the only entities to access the Ohio State Off-Campus Housing Network benefits. In addition, students and families will have access to information about in-network properties and will be able to make informed decisions about living off-campus.
