How To Get to the Ohio State University

By John Kazalia, About.com

Thanks to the Route 315 freeway, getting to the Ohio State University is easy.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Depends on where you are coming from

Here's How:

  1. FROM THE NORTH: Follow I-71 south to I-270 west (Dayton/Indianapolis). Exit and join I-270 west. In about 2 miles you will exit onto State Route 315 and follow the signs for 315 south. Follow 315 south for a few miles and there will be signs directing you to exits for the Ohio State University.
  2. FROM THE EAST: Follow I-70 west until it joins I-71 in downtown Columbus. After I-71 joins, move into the left lane. Exit LEFT onto State Route 315. Follow 315 north for a couple of miles and there will be signs directing you to exits for the Ohio State University.
  3. FROM THE SOUTH: Follow I-71 north. In downtown Columbus, I-71 will exit right and State Route 315 will go straight. Follow 315 STRAIGHT (north) for a few miles and there will be signs directing you to exits for the Ohio State University.
  4. FROM THE WEST: Follow I-70 east until you reach I-670. Exit LEFT onto I-670. Quickly you will meet exits for State Route 315. Exit onto 315 north and follow 315 briefly; there will be signs directing you to exits for the Ohio State University.
