Re: Ohio State 2014
Has anyone received info on setting up their ID accounts and email addresses? The admitted students site says that it would be coming shortly after confirmation of my deposit, and that was over a month ago.
Also, there's a few apartments I'm looking at in German Village. Can anyone with Columbus experience comment on what the commute from there to the school would be like, particularly during rush hour. I like the area, but I'm wondering if I should just go for the Short North area. Thanks.

Re: Ohio State 2014
I live near German Village. It's about 10 minutes from my place without traffic and 15 with (taking 4th St up). It might take a little longer from German Village depending on how deep you are in it because of the brick roads. You'll probably be going the opposite direction of traffic during rush hour, though.Credit wrote:Has anyone received info on setting up their ID accounts and email addresses?

The commute from the Short North / Harrison West / Victorian Village would definitely be better, but it wouldn't be horrible from German Village.

Re: Ohio State 2014
I lived in German Village for two years and my husband was a student at that time. The bus ride took him 30-45 minutes, sometimes longer :/ Driving is much faster, because you are going opposite most of the traffic.
German Village is a nice area, but I prefer being closer to the school (I'm in Victorian Village/Harrison West now). Also, German Village is significantly more expensive.
Also, to set up your online accounts you just go to https://acctmgt.service.ohio-state.edu/ and do it all there

Re: Ohio State 2014
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it as I have spent very little time in Columbus. Are there any other neighborhoods that you think really standout that I should consider?

I'm also a fan of the arena district, but it's near a lot of bars as well as the arena, so I imagine its louder late at night.Credit wrote:Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it as I have spent very little time in Columbus.

Re: Ohio State 2014
I like Grandview a lot too. Not as close as Victorian Village, but not as far as German Village either. My main suggestions would be: Victorian Village, Harrison West, Short North, Grandview, and then possibly Clintonville if you don't mind living north of campus when the law school is on the south end.Credit wrote:Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it as I have spent very little time in Columbus.

Re: Ohio State 2014
I came to the March 17/18 ASD and checked out a few places to live for fall. I got off the waitlist for a 1 bed in downtown on front street (annex at river south). Can anyone comment on the area and the commute. I've only been to Columbus once (ASD) and 95% of my time was spend on campus for the events. Thanks guys!

Re: Ohio State 2014
It should be about a 10-15 minute drive or maybe a little longer on the bus. It's pretty much a straight shot up High St, but you might want to find another way because High can be extremely slow through the Short North (might not be so bad during morning rush hour, though).cj2k14 wrote:I came to the March 17/18 ASD and checked out a few places to live for fall.

I live just a couple blocks southeast of the Annex and plan on taking 4th st up and 3rd st down. The only time it's been bad was when I was going up to campus in evening rush hour. Living downtown, you'll typically go opposite traffic during rush hour.
I think that immediate area is relatively nice. You'll be close to theatres and the state supreme court and within walking distance of some of the better restaurants downtown. The other side of the river gets sketchy pretty quickly, but I'm under the impression that it's a pretty clear division. Hopefully those who have lived here a little longer can offer better perspective.

Re: Ohio State 2014
After two visits I found a place! I'll be in a small one bedroom in Grandview, just over the Olentangy. Should be about a 15 minute bus or bike ride. I am excited to move down, but I probably won't be there until August for good.

Me too! They say those of us who verify before July 22 will subsequently receive our class/section assignment, but I don't know if they mean just subsequent to verifying or subsequent to July 22. I hope it's the former.lifestooquick wrote:...

Re: Ohio State 2014
So I didn't accept any Grad PLUS loans because my husband can get Stafford/whatever they're called now loans as well, which would be plenty for us. However, his stupid professors haven't actually inputted his grades properly which has his account locked up so he hasn't even been able to get a finaid offer yet! I have NO idea if he'll even be able to get loans at this point or how long until we find out (OSU really can be slooooooow with things, geez). And now I emailed finaid asking if there's any way I can still request the Grad PLUS and haven't heard anything back
moral of the story/tl;dr: when they say to just accept all finaid offered, you really should do it

Re: Ohio State 2014
Did you email Marc? Or just general OSU financial aid? I've found Marc (law finaid) to be very helpful and quick to respond.

Re: Ohio State 2014
I'm in a similar situation. I didn't request any gradplus at first either but now I am trying to get some. I emailed Marc monday and called today and still have heard no response -thinking maybe he is out of the office. I went ahead and filled out the application(which can be found by clicking the link under award summary on buckeyelink) and emailed it to him and then signed the MPN on the government student loan site.Lwoods wrote:Did you email Marc?

When it comes to getting things done at OSU make sure you take matters into your own hands and harass the people responsible for helping you. I apologize if you already knew that and planned on doing that, but friends of mine that have transferred here did not realize this. Just trying to help. good luck to the both of us

Just heard back from Marc! I hope he got back to you too. We just have to send him the Grad PLUS application and we should be good to go.

Yep, I heard back from him with the same verdict. Glad you did as well

Re: Ohio State 2014
Super delayed response (haven't checked TLS in a long time): After spending a lot more time in Columbus, I decided on the Short North. I really liked the feel of the area and the short commute to the school. Got a nice 2br right on High for a decent price.Lwoods wrote:I live near German Village.

The commute from the Short North / Harrison West / Victorian Village would definitely be better, but it wouldn't be horrible from German Village.
