Residential Campus
Ohio University is a residential campus, meaning that almost all students live on or near campus. All first- and second-year students live in one of the university's 42 residence halls. Ninety percent of all students living in the residence halls stay on campus over the weekend. With classes, friends, and academic resources all within walking distance, Ohio University is sure to become your home away from home.
Residence Halls
The residence hall is not just a place to sleep at night. It is a great place to make friends, find study partners, and become part of a close living-learning community. Residential facilities have both freshman and upperclass halls. Most are coed. Students have the opportunity, upon completing a housing contract, to indicate their preference of room size and location. A variety of living environments are available to choose from, including academic emphasis and substance-free halls. You can even arrange to room with a friend.
Dining Halls
Students with meal plans may access any of the four operating dining halls on campus with a valid student I.D. card.

The SAFE-T provides safe, cost-free transportation around campus to all students. This service is especially useful to students who would like a walk or ride home from an evening class or a late night visit with a friend. As an additional safety precaution, call boxes with emergency buttons are strategically positioned around campus, and each residence hall space offers multiple levels of security access.
