Venue and Directions
The Symposium will be held in Room 35 of the Psychology Building at 1835 Neil Avenue.If you are arriving from out of town, and plan to drive to Columbus, click here for driving instructions.
If you are arriving by air, book to fly into Columbus airport (CMH). Public transportation from the airport is almost nonexistent (an occasional bus goes to the downtown, about 4 miles from OSU). There are, however, lots of taxis, costing about $35 or so, to OSU. For some information on shuttles (shared rides), refer to this web page.
Once you are in Columbus, if you plan to drive to campus, the most convenient parking is in the Neil Avenue Parking Garage.
There are also frequent buses from downtown and from north of campus. For example, if you take COTA Bus #2, you can get off at N. High St. & 17th Ave., and walk just 10 minutes west through the Campus, past the main library. COTA Buses #7 and #18 stop on 12th Ave. between High Street and Neil Ave., just a 5 minute walk away.
