Housing & Dining
University Housing & Dining Services (UHDS) welcomes you to OSU for Summer Session. We are pleased to provide convenient living and dining accommodations on campus, whether you are attending a short-term seminar, an eight- or 11-week session, or staying at OSU the entire summer.
Residence Halls
The residence hall scheduled for occupancy for 2009 Summer Session housing is Sackett Hall, which is situated on the west side of campus. Residents in the Summer Session hall contract on a flexible, weekly basis for a room and meal package.
Double rooms only are available for Summer Session housing. Each room has beds, desks, desk chairs, and dressers. The rooms also have a local telephone line and basic cable TV services at no additional cost. You may sign up for long distance services through the University Telecommunications Office. Telephones are not provided. There is also a data jack for high-speed Internet access (10 Mbps) in each residence hall room, and you can sign up for basic online services (email, networks). On the main floor there is a kitchenette, and common living space. All residence halls are smoke-free; no smoking is permitted anywhere inside the facilities.
Dining Services
Summer Session meal service operates throughout the regular 11-week session, June 22 to September 4. UHDS Dining Dollars are placed on residence hall students' OSU ID cards. The ID may then be used as a debit card for meal access during normal operating hours in UHDS dining facilities.
All Summer Session students will have a meal plan equivalent to the "Preferred" academic year meal plan, with the option to add money to their cards at any time via OSU Card Cash.
