In 1897, Jane Stanford, co-founder of the University, declared
that
"It is desirable that...students should generally
reside upon the grounds of the University."
Since that time, Stanford has developed a strong residential
character, and University residences have played an important
role in the lives and education of generations of Stanford
students.
Today, over 10,000 students live in some 80 residences
on the Stanford campus. Approximately 93 percent of undergraduates
and 52 percent of matriculated graduate students at the
home campus live in University housing.
The Stanford residence system is among the largest and
most diverse in the nation. Residences vary greatly in their
program, size, age, style of architecture, and layout of
student rooms. What they hold in common is the goal of providing
students with strong, pluralistic communities that support
students' academic and personal goals and achievement.
Choosing a residence involves important personal and educational
decisions. By reading these Web pages, visiting individual
residences, and talking to other students, you can gain
a better understanding of the many residence options available
to you and can make an informed choice about where you wish
to live.
