I've lived in central OH all my life.

Given the age of their children, encourage your daughter and SIL to do some research on the various school districts in and around central OH. There are a number of excellent schools in the area.......and yet there are some that are struggling a bit, financially and academically.

If they get the chance ahead of time, they might also want to spend a little bit of time traversing the highways during rush hour timeframes if they're not going to be living close to campus. The highways in some areas get pretty jammed up at times. But compared to most other metropolitan areas in the U.S., central OH has it pretty easy when it comes to overall traffic congestion.

And they can start working on their pronunciations as well:

..."co-lum'-bus o-hi'-o" will indicate they're not local.

..."klum'-bis uh-hi'-uh" is usually what they'll hear around these parts!!
