Press Play on the New School Year

August 27, 2025

Welcome back, Buckeyes! A brand-new school year is here, and there’s no better time to press play on your next chapter than right now—especially when you’re living near OSU at VERVE.

Whether you’re a wide-eyed freshman ready to take on campus or a senior soaking up your final semesters, this is your moment. Life has no rewind, so let’s make it count.

Make the Most of Your OSU Experience

There’s something electric about that first week back—the buzz around campus, new classes, new friends, and a fresh shot at doing college your way. When you live at VERVE, you’re not just close to the action—you’re in it.

VERVE puts you in the perfect spot to balance student life and city life. Think less time commuting and more time connecting, exploring, and creating the moments you’ll look back on later.

Explore Cbus: Your City, Your Playground

Living in Columbus means you’ve got access to way more than just campus. You’re in one of the most exciting neighborhoods in the city—so don’t waste a second. After all, life has no rewind.

Here are some spots to hit early in the semester:

  • Short North Arts District – Street murals, coffee shops, late-night pizza, and vibey local boutiques.
  • North Market – Grab lunch with your roomies or stock up on gourmet snacks and sweets.
  • Scioto Mile – Need a mental reset? Go for a walk or run by the river and catch the skyline views.
  • Ohio Stadium – You already know. Saturday = game day = best vibes on earth.

Stay Plugged In

New to VERVE or just getting back into the swing of things? We’ve got events, giveaways, and tips to help you settle in and thrive all year long. This isn’t your average student housing. This is where you reset, recharge, and hit play on your BEST DAMN LIFE. 

And don’t forget—VERVE is more than just a vibe. It’s a mindset:
