As a Scholars student you will be required to live in the Scholars residence hall with the Scholars students in your particular program during your first year unless you are a commuting Central Ohio resident. Please note that Scholars students will be unable to preference a roommate outside of their particular Scholars program. Watch this Youtube video​ about all of Ohio State's campus living options. ​

Scholars residence halls:

• ​Foster a strong sense of community
  
• Provide a peer network of high-ability students who are successful in balancing involvement in academic and social activities
  
• Offer access to other Scholars students with similar interests – making it easier to find other students to go to class with and form study groups
  
• Scholars Coordinators meet regularly with Scholars residence hall directors and frequently participate in residence hall programs
  
• Opportunities for involvement in residence hall government
