Springfield, Ohio (pop. ~58,662) sits in southwestern Ohio about 25 miles northeast of Dayton and roughly 45–48 miles west of Columbus, offering an affordable, central base for multi-week therapy assignments with a college-town presence from Wittenberg University and local cultural offerings.
You’ll enjoy quieter, lower-cost living while being a short drive to Dayton for expanded nightlife and cultural options and to Columbus for big-city dining, arts and airport access—so a several-week stay can feel comfortable at home yet still enable easy weekend escapes.
