Victorian village is a popular area in Columbus. The arena district and short north are within stumbling distance.

Hey Kuenja... what's up with the g-friend?

Are you just getting out of college? Are you pretty serious with this young lady? Just trying to get my mind wrapped around that part of the situation. Did you put a plan together for that (assuming you want to stay with her)?

We've been together for 1.5 years. Honest, strong relationship, but she's staying in Wisconsin at least 6 more months to finish teaching where she does.

I just got my MBA, so yes, out of college but I'm 27 too. But if I'm moving to Columbus, I'm looking to make friends, so I want to live where it's 'happening'. I like to party on weekends. Not like I used to when I was 21, but I enjoy social drinks.

She plans to move to Columbus after spring of 2014. We're serious, but I'm kind of slow to settle down. I have no plans to get married anytime soon. But faithful? Yes. 100%, both ways. That is the plan, but we're going to be apart for 6 months so who knows what will happen. I see there being no issues, but we'll see. I'm just really excited to move to Columbus!

... Place #4: $500 per month, roommate looks really boring (Damn hippie), but it's 2.5 miles from work and located at 5000 Crescent Dr., Hilliard, OH.

Hippie Haters Gonna Hate Hippies!

Boring is in the eye of the beholder. The (true) Hippie credo: "Do Your Own Thing."

Look at it this way: if you're there short term you might need to decide among a roomie who is controlling by virtue of "it's my place, what I say goes," one who constantly applies annoying pressure to do shit that doesn't interest you, or one who doesn't give a shit about what you do or don't do.

Best of luck.

I'm just trying to give some advice, as I went through almost an identical situation (albiet Denver vs Columbus... I win!), but you can tell me to shove it if you don't want to go there. But how old is the ol' lady? Did she just get out of college?

People change a lot in their lives. Especially, well... specifically in their mid-late 20's. I'm not basing that off of just my experiences, but rather every single person I know into their 30's.

She's 23. I'm a cradle robber! Lol.

Hey, I'll take any advice available!

I do understand that we could grow apart. I can tell I'm handling this move better than she is, but she's being pretty good about it overall.

different area codes bro...plus it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission so you're good to go

ahhhh..... my gf was 23 during my comparable situation too (I was 23 too though).

Send me a pm if you want to hear about it. Frankly, it may or may not help you. It's a cautionary tale, and it may or may not be of any help, but I would be happy to tell you my (and what I have seen as the likely scenario from other people's situation) story.

I'll bite.

My ex (4.5 years) and I were doing long distance (Columbus vs. NY) and it didn't work out in the end. The nice thing about Columbus is you become Bill Russell once you are single. All of the rebounds.

Basically what Wooly is gonna tell you is that she is gonna cheat on you. So you need to cheat on her first.

I just had a skype interview with a girl who's looking for a roommate (total smoke show).

She said high street, short north, meridian are the places to be. IDK, she seemed like a girl that would rage on Tuesdays though.

I like to party, but I'm strictly a weekend guy.

You guys make it sound like the land of milk and honey, lol. Where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrono.

GK, we'll get a beer sometime?

If you're in NY, yeah!

I'll be in Columbus sooner rather than later. Probably in February for my birthday weekend. I have too many good friends there. So I'll let you know.

I found some APTs I liked: The View on High

Any suggestions on these or are these not in good locations?

222 East 11th, 320 East 17th, 331 East 18th, 350 East 12th, 1366 East Indianola, 77 East 7th.

I'm not sure when that will be done.

This is what it looks like right now:

Plus it's across the street from OSU. It's right on High Street so there is a nonstop flow of 19-year old drunk chicks roaming around.

On the plus side, it's right next to Buckeye Donuts, which makes the best gyro in the city, 24/7 haha

If you're willing to shell out the dough for this kind of space, google Grandview apartments. That's going to be a much better fit.

222 East 11th, , 320 East 17th, 331 East 18th, 350 East 12th, 1366 East Indianola,

Smack dab in the middle of OSU frat-central.

77 East 7th.

This is in Weinland Park...aka the place where white people go to die.

Look at places like Flats on Vine, Flats II, Grandview Yard, Tribeca Apartments, Arena Crossings, Highpoint on Columbus Commons, if you're down for living large.

Those are all close to the campus area. Generally anything in the 100's east of high is ok. Mostly all students. the further south and east you go, the worse it gets. Unfortunately a bad area of town is just blocks from the campus area. A few of my friends have been robbed at gun point walking in various spots east of high.

Of the apartments listed I would advise against the 7th, 11th, and 12th. The 17th and 18th are probably near 4th street which isn't bad.

If Victorian village place is still a viable option, that would be a great spot.

That's great by how close is it to the football facilities? For balance he also needs to be able to check out the arms and abs of guys on the football team.

Don't need it.

I'm just going to go to kinkos and get a fathead made of Greg Bryant doing the ladder drill. Shirtless, naturally. Jaylon Smith doing pull ups. Shirtless. And Niklas giving his speech last year.
