OSU Student Housing

Students want to attend the Ohio State University for a wide range of reasons. It is the most frequently applied to school for students at WKHS and historically, we have a significant number of students who elect to spend their collegiate years at OSU. While it will not impact the students currently at OSU, or even this year's senior class, I thought you might be interested in hearing about the plan that OSU President, Dr. Gordon Gee, has proposed for student housing in the future. They are currently working to improve and expand their housing availability on the Columbus campus so that in addition to all freshman students living in a dorm that all sophomores will also be required to stay in the dorms. (The exception, of course, would be if you are going to live at home with your parents for both years.) They hope to have the sophomores in campus housing for 2012 - 13. The Dispatch story about these plans explains that there is data to show that remaining in dorms improves student academic outcomes. Read the story to get all the details.
