If he’s already set his mind on transferring then he should explore accepting an Ohio State regional campus admission or starting at Columbus State. If he starts at a branch he’d be eligible for the football ticket lottery. If there is room in the golf program then they might allow him to register for their classes from the regional campus or Columbus State. You can continue to pay the discounted regional campus tuition as long as the majority of his credits are taken there. Once he’s earned 30 credits he’d be eligible for a campus change. There are lots of furnished private student housing complexes in Columbus that would set him up with roommates.
