First Year Survival Guide

The Physics Graduate Student Council maintains a u.osu page that contains a variety of resources including seminars and housing. If you are moving to Columbus, you will want to read the Housing Guide. Another great resource is the Off-Campus Housing webpage and their guide for graduate students living off-campus in Columbus Ohio.
