Definitely NOT a hippy haven. Many of the head shops are being forced closed because the campus area is becoming “revitalized” (read: influx of money, respectability, and high price residences and stores). Also, the Police Department issued a warning to Columbus citizens and business that Phish was a “cult” and to avoid serving those that were in town for the concert. Columbus is fast becoming an anti-hippy haven.

I just want everyone who thinks Columbus is terrible to know that you haven’t seen half of the city. Most of you have only lived on campus and I would have to say that is not the best choice…unless you are going to school. I’m guessing most of you are not or were but dropped out. OSU is a great campus and if your not into partying all of the time then you can find nice places to live. Give good ole C-town a chance.
Towards the end of the year me and my 2 yr old son are going to be moving to Columbus. I have never left Missouri (thats where im from). What is in Columbus to do, I need a college to transfer to. Can someone give me some ideas?
Smug place is Columbus,for the most part.I`ve lived here for a year or so,and I am not sold on it being a hippy haven.Although the short north area near campus has some interesting galleries,bars,musichouses and such,and for as fast as it is growing there are several parks and outdoor activities.I do feel though the mindset of a vast majority of people in Columbus is tuned into the proverbial american dream,or in other words brainwashed,but what do I know
Columbus is a nice place for Hippies.
