Accommodation details

Stanford's graduate residences offer living environments for students diverse in background, language, culture, race, and religion. Residences serve as focal points of intellectual, recreational, and social interchange. Through its residence program, Stanford seeks to provide graduate students with a supportive, friendly environment where they are encouraged to develop a strong sense of community. Student Housing Rates are approximate and subject to change. The single student housing rates reflect the charge per person. All rates include utilities (except telephone, cable and Ethernet). There is no difference in rates for furnished or unfurnished apartments of the same type. Residents are also required to pay a house dues fee each quarter/semester. House dues are used for educational programs, social activities, and other services that are not included in room rent. Dues range from $20-55 per term. The board rate in the co-ops is approximately $500 to $800 per quarter. Students are billed rent at a constant per diem rate for the full University calendar year (September 1-August 31). Quarterly and semestral rates are quoted in full monthly increments, but bill will be based on specific contract dates. There are many dining options available to graduate students. Students living in co-ops must purchase their house board plan and participate in the preparation of meals. Students living in other residences may choose to cook for themselves if living in apartments or if they have kitchen privileges at Crothers or Crothers Memorial Halls, eat at on-campus or nearby restaurants and snack bars, or purchase a meal plan offered by the University.
