Pre-Assignment

Some of Stanford's on-campus residences offer special academic, cultural, or social programs or leadership opportunities. Several residences sponsor intensive foreign language study. Other residences are co-ops, meaning that cooking and cleaning for the residence is performed by the students who live in the house.

One of the core tenets of the Housing Draw is to support these unique residential programs through the Pre-Assignment process.

Students who want to live in a theme residence can come together with other students to create a residence committed to exploring a topic, lifestyle, language, or culture.
