Tucked away on the sparsely-populated southeast corner of the state, Ohio University is the first American college to be chartered by an act of Congress and helped establish the path of higher education in America for centuries to come. The oldest and largest section of OU is the College of Arts and Sciences, comprising a third of all majors at the university.
Students outnumber the permanent local population in Athens, making it a quintessential college town that generally revolves around the university (in fact, the town was established in 1802 specifically to accommodate the new institution). The south side of campus is bordered by the Hocking River, with the Hocking Adena Bikeway providing a tranquil and scenic recreational trail perfect for enjoying the university’s natural surroundings. On the north side, Court Street runs through the center of town, flanked by popular eateries and neighborhood taverns. Housing tends to be quite affordable, with apartments, condos, and rental homes frequently available within walking distance of campus and downtown for very reasonable rates.
