Helpful Information

  • If you haven’t already, please make sure to pay your key deposit to save time at check-in.
  • Check out our Seminar FAQs which have more details on the sort of program to expect, accommodations, etc.
  • Plugging the address above into a navigation app like Google Maps or Apple Maps usually works just fine, but if you’d like more detailed directions to campus we’ve put those together here.
  • Please give our suggested packing list a read. Some highlights:
    • Mattresses are provided in the dorms, but you’ll need to pack your own Twin XL or Queen sheets, a blanket, and a pillow
    • The dorms and all program spaces are air-conditioned (but we will be outside a lot!)
    • You’ll also need to pack a towel and all toiletries
    • We will provide HOBY t-shirts to wear Friday and Saturday, but you may want a more fun or stylish outfit for our HOBY Dance Saturday night! Dress code for Sunday is business casual – details are in the packing list!
  • If applicable, please bring any prescription medication in its original container as labeled by the pharmacy. Only bring what you will need for the four days on site. Our on-site nurse will collect all prescription medication at check-in and dispense them whenever you need them.

We’re so excited to meet you in just a few short weeks! If you need anything at all in the mean time just reach out to us at recruiting@hobyohiosouth.org, or call or text us at (740) 500-HOBY(4629). 

See you soon!
