By the way I searched some off-campus housing alternatives and the housing alternatives at stanford seemed to be at a reasonable price if you don't want to travel a lot in a day. unofficial.stanford.edu is where i looked up some apartments,
https://www.stanford.edu/dept/rde/chs/general/chs/campus/webauth/listings/apartments.html is another address to look at, stanford directed website. there are lots of options there, apartments, rooms, shared housing,etc..
still I will go for the on-campus housing but It is your choice in the end..
