ooooof really depends. My fiancé and I wanted to live close to campus - we basically bike everywhere except the grocery store and it does come at a premium (~$1400 a month w/ water, electricity and WiFi) but we pay nothing for parking passes or gas. Everything is nicely updated and we pay very little for electricity etc because it’s a smart apartment or whatever and in a nice neighborhood with a coffee shop and brewery. When you move further out (upper Arlington, by the airport, marble cliff) it gets cheaper (800-1200 for a studio or one bedroom) but you have to pay a ridiculous amount for a parking pass on campus ($500) and get gas. I’ve also had some friends who live further out have issues with getting their cars broken into etc. In Columbus I would be shocked if you could find a nice one bedroom under 800. Almost all two bedrooms are 1500+ Before utilities so definitely look for a roommate. This makes it sound kind of bad but it’s really not!!! It’s pretty average for cost of living in a really nice city with great things to do - truly can’t say housing prices were a deterrent for me coming to OSU because that’s what the loans are ultimately for.Housing Prices ?
