Students who requested to be in a group were given a common number.

New graduate students who apply by the first-round Lottery deadline and select "willing to live anywhere on campus" are guaranteed housing. Munger, the GSB Residences, the off-campus, subsidized housing and premium studios (for single students) are not automatically assigned out of the final choice “assign me anywhere on campus” due to their price. These options were only assigned to students who specifically listed them on their applications.

New Graduate Students (who will be in their first year of graduate study at Stanford):

  • 280 of those assigned were Graduate School of Business assignments to the GSB Residences.
  • 43 of those assigned were exempt medical accommodati​ons or staff assignments.
  • The 2 unassigned new students restricted their choices and so are no longer guaranteed. They will still maintain a high priority for assignment.

  • 4 of those assigned were Graduate School of Business assignments to the GSB Residences.
  • 54 of those assigned were exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.
  • The 6 unassigned students with no priority restricted their choices.

Couples without Children Housing

Students with Children Housing

All students with children who applied for housing by the deadline were assigned a random application number from 0001 to 0500. (Current students living in Student with Children Housing who renewed their housing contracts were not given application numbers.)

New Graduate Students:
