What's the best route from California to Ohio?

My son is thinking about going to Ohio State, but he wants to tour the campus beforehand. I think we’re going to drive to save money and see what there is along the way. What’s the best driving route from California to Ohio?

With more than 65,000 students, Ohio State University is one of the largest in the country. If you want to save money and take the most direct path, here’s the best route from
California
to Ohio:
  • Take I-40 East out of California
  • Hop on I-44 East near Oklahoma City.
  • In St. Louis, take I-70 East straight into Ohio.
Alternatively, you could also take this route (it’s only 30 miles more):
  • Take I-15 North out of California.
  • Take exit 132 for I-70 East.
  • Take I-70 all the way to Ohio.
