    In E. Gordon Gee’s perfect world, all OSU undergrads would live on campus, as they do at Vanderbilt University, where he used to work.

    Gee’s grand vision includes bringing together as many students, professors and other staff members as possible to live on and around campus to create a more-vibrant learning environment outside the classroom.
