On-Campus Housing Requirement for Ohio University

Ohio University provides on-campus housing. They require that some students live on campus. All Ohio University enrolled students unmarried and under the age of 23 with fewer than four academic year semesters (fall/spring semesters only) in the residence halls prior to the start of the semester in which they enroll must reside in university-owned housing and participate in the associated mandatory meal plan. Please read more about the Housing Requirement . Students who are not required to live on campus may be able to do so based on availability.

On-Campus Housing During the Breaks

Unfortunately, it is impossible for Ohio University to find enough staff for all of the dormitories during the breaks (i.e., winter break), so if you stay on campus during a break, you may need to move to temporary housing. Ask your RA or the Office of Residential Housing (contact Alvena Collins: collina3@ohio.edu ) about an extended housing contract (with lower rates) for international students.

Off-Campus Housing

If you are not required to live on-campus, you may live off-campus. The OHIO Housing and Residence Life Office provides resources for Off Campus Living . International Student and Scholar Services also provides off-campus housing resources.
