There's No Place Like Home
One important part of my journey to Ohio State was finding housing, especially as someone totally new to Columbus. Moving to a city when you aren't familiar with the area can be a challenge, but there are a ton of options near campus that can suit pretty much any preference or budget. Columbus overall is a very affordable city, especially given how bustling it is. I live by myself because I was interning in Columbus over the summer, but plenty of MAcc students made plans before the program started and decided to be roommates.
I live in Riverwatch Tower on Lane Avenue, which is basically across the street from Fisher. (So convenient for when I inevitably end up hitting snooze one too many times...) Being able to walk to class was a priority for me as I checked out options, but a lot of grad students drive or take the bus to campus as well. There are a lot of houses and apartments on the north side of campus that are close to Fisher. Some of my classmates live farther south near the Short North Arts District for easier access to that part of town.
Another plus for me is that my apartment came furnished while still being on the affordable side. Not having to worry about buying and moving furniture is amazing. Other complexes have amenities like gyms and swimming pools, so keep that in mind if you want to take advantage of those perks. Overall, pretty much any housing preference you have can be taken care of in Columbus. Do your research and know your priorities and you're sure to find a great fit.
