[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you want feedback about schools and I don't have that to offer, but I'll chime in as a DC-raised academic who's lived in various major cities and who was very happy during a visiting prof year in Columbus. I found it a very livible city, with a number of pretty close-in neighborhoods—think Chevy Chase, but cheaper—as well as beautiful in-town neighborhoods for fans of Victorian architecture. I found the academic community very welcoming. A dozen or so friends who are tenured there seem thoroughly happy with life in Columbus and are well integrated into their town life. In sum, if the school situation works for you I'd vote a strong yes to the experience of living there and working at OSU.

Though I don't have direct experience of having kids in the schools, I can say that the adminstrative pattern of Ohio cities is that for the most part each suburb is its own school district (vs. county-level school districts around here), so you can search for the optimal combination of town/suburb, proximity to campus, school quality, and so on. That setup can lead to very high real estate taxes that somewhat tamp down the savings in prices, but it can also have advantages in local school quality.[/quote]
