    A Living Tradition. Like the Buckeye spirit, University Village is designed around a sense of tradition, community, and unparalleled happiness. We are deeply rooted in OSU's rich history and offer students the sense of belonging and appreciation they have come to hold dear. A collegiate design with aesthetic appeal, University Village was first brought to Ohio State University in 1959 with one goal in mind: housing Ohio's best. Staffed with friendly and responsive personnel, University Village is the perfect off-campus location, equipped with seven private shuttles to quickly transport students to and from the OSU campus. From a jam-packed social calendar to a spacious studio, one, two, and three bedroom floor plans, and an awesome outdoor pool and Tiki bar, we are the ultimate choice for undergrads and graduates alike. All in all, Buckeyes agree that University Village is much more than another apartment option-it's an Ohio State tradition!
