Dorms for freshman at Ohio state?

@JBuck7 @Marakov29 hey so I just got myhousing contract. I completed all of it and got to the pay space reservation and filing fee. It said it would direct me to another page to pay it online through my credit card but it never redirected me. It sent me to the congratulations page. I’m very confused!

Haven’t you heard? OSU dorms will be free next year! :))

@erinivey13 Are you under 18 by chance? If you are, you can’t pay online. (Or maybe it’s an error within the contract, I don’t know, I haven’t gotten mine yet.)

From their website:
“Students are able to complete the housing contract online. Those students who are 18 years of age or older they can also make their space reservation fee and filing fee ($350) payment online as well. Students under the age of 18 complete the contract online and then need to print the signature page, have a parent or guardian sign and date it, and return the signature page with the payment to the Housing Service’s office.”

@erinivey13 When did you pay your acceptance fee?

same thing happened to me.

@Dmppp09 early January

It is true that you can only request area of campus and room rate. Also most Freshmen are usually assigned to quads for their first year. The odds of getting a single as a freshmen is slim to none. Unless you have medical documentation for needing a single you won’t get one.

@JBuck7 You will not have the chance to preference room types like “super-double” this year. Only Area of campus (north, south or west) and room rate (1, 2, or 3)

So if you were accepted into a scholars program, but are thinking of declining it…can you get back into the regular housing pool? Acceptance fee was paid Feb. 1.

@pop424 You could decline the scholars program and be placed in the regular pool, but can I ask why you’re thinking of declining it/which residence hall the scholars group is in?
