Wonder if you qualify for Athens, Ohio off campus housing? Students are required to live on campus for their first two years of study, but the university does offer several exemptions.
Part-time students enrolled in 10 hours or less are exempt. Veterans with 18 months of active duty under their belts can also live off campus. Married students or single parents are exempt. Commuting students living with a parent or legal guardian within 50 miles of campus are also exempt.
You can also get exemptions for some medical conditions or dietary restrictions, but don’t hold your breath. “Ohio University can provide on-campus housing that meets most medical needs,” the University states on its website. “Requests for residing off campus due to allergies / asthma are typically not approved.” Only serious conditions are allowed and require specific documentation.
Financial hardship will also be considered, but simply trying to save money is not viewed as a valid hardship.
Go Greek
Students who enroll in recognized fraternities or sororities and have completed a full year with on campus housing before the fall semester may also apply for off campus housing. The exemption is not available once the academic year begins, but newly elected officers required to live in Greek housing will be considered for review. All requests for Greek housing must be approved by the Campus Involvement Center.
