Proud OSU grad and always love driving through to see what's changed! Still one of the prettiest campuses in the US and definitely tops in the Big Ten. Seems so much safer and so many dining options. But miss some of the old-especially Mirror Lake!...More

Walked the campus

Accompanied by a current student we walked the campus, admired the various faculty buildings and dorms, the sports facilities and the gardens. It’s a huge campus and we could have spent hours without walking the same area twice!

Ohio State is a great school with a wide variety of programs to meet nearly all higher-education needs, and outstanding research. What keeps them from a 5-star rating is the lack of options for working students, they seem to have given up on that sector...More

We will be staying in town for a OSU vs WI football game... we booked hotel close to Football field for game day. Wondering how close downtown bars are? Uber ok? Or should we rent a car? We will be flying so trying to figure out if rental car worth it or if we can walk and Uber to most places. Thanks

Answer

The OSU stadium is on Campus which is to the north of downtown. There is a large number of “student” bars in the immediate vicinity, of which “Threes” and “The Library” are excellent examples. Uber worked for me

Are there any hotels with shuttle service to and from the Ross Hospital?

AnswerShow all 3 answers

Not sure if Ross hospital is on or near OSU main campus. If it is Springhill Suites /OSU has free shuttle bus that goes in a three mile radius. Very convenient and great staff with comfortable lodging.
