Temporary Housing

Temporary Housing

While most Ohio University students live in on- or off-campus housing, there may be times when you need temporary housing. For instance, you may need temporary housing if:

  • You arrive to campus early (prior to official on-campus move-in dates) and you are unable to find temporary housing options on-campus prior to your arrival
  • You have family traveling with you
  • You arrive before your off-campus housing lease begins

  • On-Campus Temporary Housing

    Housing and Residence Life offers temporary housing options as space permits prior to the start of fall or spring semesters. Contact Housing after December 1 (for spring) or after July 1 (for fall) to check availability.
