Housing Information

Housing costs vary based on length of contract and type of housing. Stanford students may live in housing without registering for courses, although space is limited and priority is given to students enrolled in courses (rates are subject to change). To learn more, refer to the Summer Housing website.

Dining Information

All undergraduate students with an on-campus housing assignment are required to purchase a meal plan, unless they are housed in Mirrielees or the Oak Creek apartments. Graduate students and commuting students may purchase a dining plan if they desire, but it is not required. Information regarding Stanford dining plans is available online at the Dining Services website.
