Residence options available to single graduate students include apartments, dormitories, and cooperative houses. Couples without children and students with children live in apartments. Residences vary greatly in their size, age, style of architecture, and layout of student rooms/apartments and common areas. All residences are located within ten minutes walking or biking distance of most classrooms and libraries. Single student rooms and apartments are fully furnished with the exception of single-occupancy apartments in Escondido Village which are available either furnished or unfurnished. Couples without children and students with children may select from either furnished or unfurnished apartments.

For more information on residence options at Stanford, check the Housing Assignments web site at http://www.stanford.edu/dept/hds/has/applying/grad/gradapply/directory.html and Community Rentals (off-campus housing) http://www.stanford.edu/dept/hds/chs/index.shtml.
 

Programs in the residences are supported by a team of professional and student staff members designated for each residence or cluster of residences. Graduate Deans provide counseling and crisis intervention and act as resources to facilitate problem solving. Graduate Community Associates (CAs) (http://www.stanford.edu/group/glo/application.html) are students who help build community and help other students enjoy and learn from their residential experiences. Residences also have Resident Computer Coordinators (RCCs) (http://rescomp.stanford.edu/) who manage in-house computer clusters, educate residents about computing at Stanford, consult on computer-related problems, and support in-room connections. In the Rains Houses, Multicultural Theme House Coordinators help plan programs that support the the needs of students with different cultural backgrounds.
