Ohio State finds enough dorm rooms for its 7,000 sophomores

COLUMBUS (TNS) — In the school’s second year of requiring sophomores to live on campus, Ohio State University officials say there is enough room for every student who has requested to live in a dorm. And though the 7,000 sophomores are campus-bound, local leaders hope the surrounding University District is becoming a place for everyone, too. As the sophomore rule continues, University District leaders are beginning to see more non-student tenants filling rental properties in the area. “We’re starting to see a filling-in in some areas of what had been formerly student apartment buildings and apartment areas that are now being occupied by others who are not students, or who are graduated and are staying in the area,” said Doreen Uhas-Sauer, chairwoman of the University Area Commission. The commission hasn’t conducted any studies or gathered data on just who is living in the area, Uhas-Sauer added, but she suspects that more young adults are filling in the neighborhood partly because of the lower rents. “This is all still unfolding these days with us,” she said.
