Ohio University Parent Guide
Greetings from Athens County - Home of Ohio University!
We are pleased to welcome you to Athens and to Ohio University. Aside from earning a great education, students and their families have an opportunity to experience one of America’s most unique communities. The bricks, the buildings, and the people will quickly become an integral part of your student’s life, and we invite you to learn more about their new home.
The City of Athens has been recognized as one of America’s Top 100 Art Communities, one of the Most Commutable Communities, one of the Best Hometowns in Ohio, home of one of the Top 10 Farmers’ Markets, and our personal favorite, one of the “Top 12 Places You’ve Never Heard Of”.
While we may be small, we offer the cultural opportunities only found in most large cities, and many are within walking distance of the historic Ohio University campus.
