Forever
Starts Here

At OHIO, we like to say that Bobcats help Bobcats. Ohio University is so much more than a place on a map – it’s a global community full of people ready to support your success today and forever.

From Bobcat Student Orientation to First Year Convocation and Welcome Week to first-year Learning Communities, we have designed every moment, starting from the day you arrive on campus, to help ensure you feel like a part of our OHIO community.

And when you are ready to cross the Commencement stage, you’ll be leaving this place with countless connections to Bobcats of all generations ready to help you with your next step.

Living
and Learning

Living on campus doesn’t just put you within one short, gorgeous walk to all your classes. Our residence halls are designed to help you connect with your community, meet new people and find the living arrangement that’s right for you.

Designed
to Thrive

We’re here to help you live your best college life inside and outside of class.

  • Our OHIO Thrive initiative brings together support and well-being resources with engagement and leadership opportunities to make sure you are supported and connected.
  • We’ve got the killer climbing wall, the disc golf course and the indoor pickleball courts you’ve come to expect as well as a 22-mile bike path by the river and a nine-hole golf course, all steps from your residence hall.
  • Explore the outdoors with paddle boarding, kayaking and hiking at Strouds Run State Park.
