Visiting the great campus of the Ohio State University? Need an idea on what to do while you are there? Well here ya go:

	Campus Gateway South - Bookstores and the Drexel Gateway movie theater are the heart of this new development along the southern High St. entrance to the OSU campus (access via COTA route 2).
	OSU Football - You won't believe it until you see it! Not just the OSU campus, the entire county shuts down to watch "the game!" Read more about OSU football here (or for the brave few who want to do something else on a "game day," visit the football widows guide).
	Short North Gallery Hop - If Columbus is the heart of Ohio, the Short North is the pulse. Fine art. Fine food. Great shopping. Great entertainment... it's the SoHo of the Midwest. Or at least that is what shortnorth.org says. Check it out with the monthly gallery hop (access via COTA route 2).
	The Oval - If the weather is warm, make sure you visit the campus green, The Oval, right in the heart of the campus. You won't be dissapointed.
	Lane Avenue Shopping Center - With Wild Oats, upscale restaurants, and more, Lane Avenue is a bit more upscale than some of the other shopping listed here (access via COTA route 84).
	Lennox Town Center - With theaters, Target, Bath and Body Works, Barnes & Noble, restaurants and more, this student-oriented shopping center is just across State Route 315 from the OSU campus (access via COTA route 84).
	Arena District - Columbus "cool zone" features Blue Jackets hockey, upscale restaurants, the Drexel Arena Grand theater, and more (access via COTA route 7).
	Comedy Central's Insomniac Columbus - Stay up all night with these bars and all-night destinations Dave Attell found when Insomniac visited Columbus (COTA doesn't go all night so you're kinda stuck).
	Wexner Center for the Arts - The best of contemporary visual, performing, and film arts from the world over in a landmark building featuring galleries, the Wexner Center bookstore, film theater, and more (access via COTA route 2).
	Crew Soccer - Catch a game at Crew Stadium, only a few blocks east of N. High St. and the OSU campus (access via COTA route 8).
	Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe - Right down the street from Lennox Town Center, great food and games and OSU memorabilia make this a great destination (access via COTA route 84).
