ohio university

It doesn’t need to be said that college students spend a big chunk of their time at OU studying. And one of the great things about campus and adjacent Court Street is that there are great study spots to be found all over. Indoor, outdoor, group setting or private, every kind of studier can find a nook to get their focus on.

One thing to love about Athens and Ohio University is the wildlife that seem not to care they’re living among buildings, cars and people. From the designer squirrels on campus (they were brought here from Harvard in 1908 to make campus look fancier) to Court Street pigeons that will fight you for your sandwich from Bagel Street Deli, we’re all used to each other, animal and human alike. The only critters that don’t seem to like Athens or the people who live here are the groundhogs by the river. Are they secretly the smartest of us all?
