Student Life at Ohio State

Creating the Extraordinary Student Experience

The Office of Student Life consists of more than 40 departments, all dedicated to creating the extraordinary student experience for every Ohio State Buckeye. Our foundational understanding that every student has a unique background and set of needs informs every program and service offered by our departments.

We support students on their paths to success by helping them live healthy, fulfilling lives throughout their time at Ohio State, inside and outside the classroom. Student Life provides many of the programs and services that influence the daily lives of Buckeyes, including dining, housing, health and wellness, diversity and inclusivity, counseling and many more.

Our departments and the programs within them foster student learning and development, enhance the educational experience and prepare students for citizenship in a diverse global society.
