Many students like to hop over to Grandview Heights -- just west of Short North -- for a small-town, off-campus adventure. The hang-outs are many and easy to find. Stauf's is a favorite place for wireless studying or chatting over fresh-roasted coffee while listening to music supplied by the customers. Eat late-night Italian at Spagio with live jazz on Tuesdays. Grandview is hip, eclectic, and an affordable destination for fun or for living near the OSU campus.
If you only have half a day or an evening,
here are some student favorites.
