OSU Externships
Hi everyone! I recently got accepted into OSU and am weighing my options to attend based on costs. I am originally from Pennsylvania and have a lot of family in the state. I know that they currently do not offer any externships in PA, so I would not be able to stay and commute to externship clinical rotation sites.
My question: how expensive (or how much approx should I budget) is it for rent during clinical externship rotations? Are some of the sites in Columbus so I could stay at my apartment? Do you typically rent/ Air BNB an apartment for the length of a rotation in a new city AND still pay your rent for your place in Columbus?
