Hey yall! Today's video is a VERY informational video about the different learning communities Ohio State offers, the housing and dorms for those learning communities, as well as the housing and dorms for the Honors and Scholars Program at Ohio State. The Learning Communities and Honors & Scholars are both programs that have specific dorms they reside in, so if you going that, you join a specific dorm. But we also go over the different rates of dorms at The Ohio State University, so how much the dorms cost, and we break down every dorm at Ohio State with some key information about them to see the dorm style (or living situation), the bathroom styles, if they have AC or not, and which side of OSU's campus are they on. I hope this video is super helpful for yall and if you have any questions, please let me know!! xoxo LOVE YALL!

Would you consider osu a good and easy option to get into for an international student?

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I would definitely say it's a good option for international students! OSU is a big hub for international students, I'm not exactly sure about easy since that is relative to everyone, but it's of course doable since we have so many international students here!

Hi! I just wanted to mention for anyone going to Ohio State, I HIGHLY suggest participating in the OWL program your first year. I moved in the Thursday before everyone else moved in. It only requires two days(ish) of training/activities and then move-in day! It was definitely worth it and you are grouped with other people in your building so it is an awesome way to make friends. Not to mention that you will most likely be able to move in before your roommate and get first pick on what side of the room you want!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

HECK YESSSS I did the OWL program both of my years living on campus and it was SO fun and I loved getting to move in early lol.

Hi, your video is super super helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to help out the younger generation. But I do have a question…You mentioned an Admission fee of $100 and a housing fee of $350. What if I got a scholarship for OSU, would the scholarship cover those fees? And do they have a few different financial aids that would?

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Hey there! I'm not entirely sure anymore, since this video was a few years ago and I'm not sure if anything has changed since Covid, etc. BUT, I know there are PLENTY of grants & scholarships available in general. I would recommend taking a peek at the financial aid website or giving them a call just to see if anything from this video has changed. :)

I'm not sure how housing has changed with Covid and the amount of students they can have in the dorms at one time or in specific buildings. so with that I am not sure. I would contact housing.osu.edu for changes with Covid! When I was there, and without Covid, you could live there whenever you want, but the rules have changed I know that.

My son just found out today he got into Ohio State. We weren’t able to tour so now we are scrambling to find out as much information about the school as possible. Are all the classes located in one area? He is a government major. If so have far would North campus be from the classes and how would South be? Is it a bus ride or walking distance? Also I would like him to be with freshman or mostly freshman. Thanks so much, I think your channel will be very helpful, especially since we weren’t able to make the trip.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

It definitely depends on the classes he'll take, classes can be located all over campus! Typically I see those kinds of classes being held around the Oval and somewhat on South campus, but they can be anywhere! :) There are multiple busses and bus routes to take around campus, so he can get from one side of campus to the other that way or by walking of course! Busses are faster if it's from one side of campus to the other, but if it's all within the middle of campus, walking is easier as the bus routes go in a loop AROUND campus and not inside of campus. You can see the bus routes through the OSU app if yall haven't downloaded it yet :) The only freshman dorm on campus is Siebert Hall, but most dorms will only have 1st and 2nd years, but Siebert is the only dorm with ONLY 1st years, so that may be a great option for him! I have an entire playlist on my channel for OSU related things and another for college related things in general that I hope is super helpful for yall!! 💗 Congrats on getting admitted GO BUCKS!

Please answer this.. I am applying to come in this year as a pre law student for my major. But I don't know how the diversity is and that is my biggest fears.

diversity within the pre law major or within the school?? I never personally really did anything within pre law myself so I can't speak on that, but OSU is definitely diverse. But that doesn't mean they're politically correct all the time and unproblematic in some cases. but there are definitely a lot of different people here and you can always find your niche or group of people by joining clubs and orgs!

I never moved in last year bc my classes were all online due to COVID. I had to redo my housing contract. There wasn’t an option to chose residence halls so am I forced to stay in the ones I chose freshman year? That would be awful bc I had to be in Baker for my scholars 😂

When I attended OSU around 2000ish the house plan for cafeteria didn't roll over to the next year if you didn't use them all. So many of students just bought useless stuff like bunch of gatorade drinks, bunch of chips, ramen etc. but it was good time i guess.

Hi so do you have to share the restroom with 2 or 3 roommates or just your 1 room mats and yourself. Also how is knowing people/ students is it to many people to know by just class is college really that big?

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Different dorms do bathrooms differently. I listed all of the dorms at the end of the video along with their style of bathroom, some you share with just your roommates and others are on your floor that you share with everyone on your floor. Ohio State is a big school but you get to know people from living in the dorms, from classes, and mostly from joining clubs/organizations!

Everyone I have personally talked to that has lived in Morrill has LOVED IT, the only downside is the distance you are from a lot of things but people who actually live there LOVE living there. Typically people who haven't lived there talk a lot about how it sucks because the thought of it does sound awful, but once people live there they end up loving it. Its such a small knit community and everyone is friendly and you have so much fun with your roommates and floormates. :)

I know this is 4 years too late, but yes Morrill is as bad as they say.

So what is better Honors or Scholars?

[@MyDriftingDesk]

that's totally up to YOU and what you are wanting out of your experience!!! honors may matter for a more science related field to graduate with honors and the research honors distinction, but if you're looking for community value and outside the classroom work scholars would be best!

I know someone who was at Lincoln tower last year and he was in a super tiny room with 3 other guys which sounds awful.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

ooooh yeah lol. the super double there was GREAT and perfect for 2 people, I couldn't imagine having 4 people in that dorm!!!

[@bibliophile7557]

I believe there were 10 total guys that shared that one common area/bathroom. I’ve heard many interesting stories from that year😂

[@MyDriftingDesk]

oh yikes hahah 😂

Being stuck in Morrill Tower with 2drunks and 1 guy on drugs was awful. But at least the guy on drugs wasn’t around most of the time. I definitely saw him 3 times for the 2 quarters I was there.

I'm from the UK and there's definitely a lot of people who live off campus even in the first year, a lot of Universities don't even have enough housing for first year students so it seems crazy that you have to live on campus for 2 years!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I know!! OSU barely fits us all for sure lol.

Until around 2013 or so, before they built or expanded a lot of dorms, it was just a 1 year requirement. And remember that until the mid-2000's, this was the most populous campus in America and it's still one of the most populous.
