Participants develop friendships with peers in the same or similar classes even before the school year begins. You will connect with the community through volunteer and service experiences, build meaningful relationships with faculty and staff outside the classroom and access support resources needed to succeed. Ambassador peer mentors serve as program leaders and facilitators, helping you navigate early college experiences by answering questions and providing advice from a student perspective.

Applications for the living-learning program are accepted beginning October 1 through your OSU application portal under the housing tab. Space is available for 60 first-year residents, and selection begins in February and runs through May, or until space is filled.
