Urbana, Ohio is a quiet, small‑city base that’s comfortable for multi‑week assignments — a low‑stress pace, local services and a compact feel that makes it easy to relax after shifts while still finding restaurants, parks and community events to fill downtime.
For weekend variety, Columbus (≈44 miles) and Dayton (≈39–40 miles) are both an easy drive for bigger-city dining, museums, nightlife and airport access if you want more to do.
