Was unsuccessful but quite an experience anyway.
Drove to Columbus and I found it to be a really nice drive :). Got there at around 12:30pm, called the guy to see his apartment. Eh, it's close to campus and all, and it's clean enough...but didn't like it. Then dad and I walked to South Gateway to get lunch...then wandered around by foot, looked at buildings where I'll have class, medical center, etc. Then we wanted to get back...and wandered around lost on the bad parts...but we then found that it was an easy walking distance from where that apartment was and I wasn't too pleased with that even if the apartment is in a tolerable location. Drove around to see the other apartments on the outside cus people either don't answer my phone calls/e-mails or are out of town. Eh, the two were not great, one was promising but the traffic was horrendous. CARS EVERYWHERE. On roads that have two lanes (one going each direction)...it would be a normal-minimal width...BUT, with cars parked on both sides THE WHOLE WAY. I don't know how I went through, everytime I saw a car we'd have to coordinate how to pass.
Then there's the people who like to cut me off.
Then there's the mass amounts of hippy pedestrians with flowers in their hair and bathing suits that block the intersection....
I later find out that it's comfest.
Explains a lot.
Found a lot of new apartments to look at, large complexes, pricier, and a commute. but safer. def safer.
Apartments that are "sketch" in Oxford are normal anywhere near OSU Campus as far as I can tell. ugh. Maybe I'm sheltered, or maybe I just like peace.
What next? we'll see.
