Hey Ohio State 2015ers!
The clinic where I work (and have been working since undergrad) has an position and apartment available. They are located just south of downtown Columbus, about a 15-20 minute drive to campus depending on traffic. It's Great Southern Animal Hospital, and the address is 2685 S. High St, Columbus 43207.
The apartment: 2 good sized bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen w/ pantry (and a dishwasher!), dining area, living room, lots of closet space, small balcony, and a fenced-in backyard. There is also a full attic, but it hasn't been finished. If needed, there is also plenty of storage space in the basement. Parking is off street and there is a garage with room for a smaller car to park in it. The apartment is above the vet clinic, but has a private entrance. Pets are allowed, of course! The clinic was built in the 50's, but the apartment has been updated recently, and is pretty cute. The vet is pretty open to ideas about updating and improving the apartment, so if you're into that sort of thing, you could probably finish the attic and be reimbursed.
The job: After hours cleaning of the clinic (6 days per week), care of hospitalized patients as needed (nothing too complicated, it's a small one doctor hospital so we refer out the really sick kids), and miscellaneous yard and parking lot maintenance (shoveling snow, salting, mowing, spraying weeds, picking up trash as needed)
The deal: FREE RENT! Plus free water, electric, gas, sewer, trash, and local phone. One of the clinic computers has internet access, and you're welcome to use it after business hours. The only utility you'd have to pay for is cable/satellite/your own internet, should you choose to have it. Laundry is located in the basement (shared with the clinic) and is available to you during non-business hours as well.
For the right person/people, this is an amazing opportunity! You can save a lot of money, and gain valuable experience and potentially get a great rec letter out of it. Dr. Sears loves to teach, so if any cool cases come in during the day he'll usually take the time to talk to you all about them. From doing this job myself previously, I can say that you should be a self-motivated hard-worker with attention to detail and pride in your work. It's not a hard job at all, just takes some time and commitment. I would say that you should plan to spend about an hour to an hour and a half on it, depending on the day, less if two are working together. It's a great clinic, with even better people who really care about their jobs. If you think you'd be a good fit, please contact the clinic directly at
614.491.5632, or email Dr. Sears at

You can also PM or email (

Thanks & enjoy the rest of your summer!
