Buckeye Buzz, High St. Swagger.
🧭Generally defined as the area: Fifth Avenue south, Glen Echo Ravine north, Olentangy River and State Route 315 west, railroad tracks near Interstate 71 east
📌Well known for: Buckeye game days and High Street chaos, Sloopy's, Out-R-Inn, Too's Under High all packed Thursday through Saturday
👕You'll fit in if: scarlet hoodie even if you didn't go to OSU, you'll own one eventually, backpack creases, caffeine breath (8am lectures are torture)
👍Move here for: walkable classes, bars which ar basically every third storefront on High Street, stadium serenades, Script Ohio gives you goosebumps even if you've seen it 50 times
👎The downsides are: street noise because High Street never truly sleeps, parking hunts (permit zones that make zero sense), roommates multiplying nightly
✨The overall feel is: amped collegiate circus with heart and good food trucks on Lane Avenue
