Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Why Columbus?

Columbus, the state's capital and nation's 14th largest city, is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States and currently has a population of just over one million. Its growth has been spurred in part by its low-priced housing as compared to what is readily available on the coasts and other major metropolitan areas.  Columbus is primarily a service-industry community, and several Fortune 500 companies have headquarters or operations located in or around the city.

Columbus uniquely provides the combination of an affordable cost-of-living with all of the amenities a major city can offer: fine restaurants, world-class ballet, symphony and theater, thriving art and arena districts, affordable housing both nearby campus and in a collection of diverse neighborhoods, NHL and MLS teams, a new minor league baseball stadium rated the best new stadium in the U.S., a top-rated zoo, an award-winning hands-on science museum, beautiful parks and cycle-ways.
