Booze, books and the balance: Businesses, bars near campus rake in big bucks
Books, bank and booze. Three things many students consider quintessential to the college experience — and all items that can be found on High Street. Yet of all three college “necessities,” it appears the latter is the most abundant.

And that’s not including bars in the University District located about six blocks or less off High Street. Tack those bars onto the count, and the total number of off-campus bars jumps to roughly 30. And there’s more. There are also restaurants on High Street that serve alcohol,… Read more

Opinion: No one is safe on- or off-campus around Ohio State
I am just your average student. I live off campus in an apartment. I often spend weeknights at the library and weekend nights out around Columbus. And when I finish my homework or leave the party I’m at, I walk home.

I was thankful he stopped. I felt protected knowing that a higher authority, this police officer, was looking out for me. However, when I really… Read more
