Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Transportation is available on campus, but not really necessary. Most students get around campus just fine and rarely rely on taxis or buses to get anywhere (thankfully, the bars are so close to housing that there’s little drunk driving). Walking is the best way to get around campus, and students really only use their cars for groceries, quick errands, and so on. The campus is not very big, and even for students who live off campus, you are never that far from where you need to go. But, if transportation is needed, it’s available, which can be nice, especially the bus to and from Columbus. While it may not be needed to get around campus, public transportation is available and convenient.

Getting outside of the city can require a little more planning. It’s not impossible, but you’ll have to call some service, most likely. Make sure to book reservations early and check online for full listings of all transportation services in and out of Athens.

CAT Has Your Back.

At Ohio University we have about four options of transportation; walk, bike, drive, or take the CATbus. This CATbus is actually very nice, especially in the brutal winter months. There are 5 designated areas on campus where the CATbus will pick up/drop off at. These are all major points on campus and once you're there you can walk about 5 mins and you'll be at you class. This is typically encouraged for those on West Green, which is the farthest area of dorms on campus.

Somewhat Limited

There is a campus bus, which I have never taken advantage of. Limited public transportation outside of campus however with few stops. We just added a cheap bus last year in order to get to the Columbus airport. We are a walking campus so if you don't have a car, you will be fine getting to class.
