zaphod_beeblebrox Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Hi, Has anyone started applying for graduate housing? The brochure mentions that first year housing for grads is guaranteed if we apply before the May 7th deadline; but the Axess portal's housing section isn't working for me. (Although I've registered with a SUNet ID and all that jazz). Just wanted to find out what's up with others who are headed to Stanford, and want on-campus housing.

twizp Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 According to the website they open mid April - and rumour has it that it will be April 15th.
socialpsych Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 According to the website they open mid April - and rumour has it that it will be April 15th. "Rumour has it"? There is a definite date. I just checked--it's April 22nd.
twizp Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 "Rumour has it"? There is a definite date. I just checked--it's April 22nd. I guess they updated the website. When I looked there wasn't a specific date. I heard that it was around that date last year and so I made the wrong inference. My appologies.
zooey Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Moi too! At least, I'm thinking about it...MS in EE
andyxlee Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 same...gonna apply for graduate housing... i'm also MS in EE
socialpsych Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Housing application opens today, for anyone who's interested!
asdfunny Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I finished the residence app, hope I can get assigned to Lyman...
lightyears Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Has anyone here applied for loans? Any idea on when we'll hear back?
Locrytham Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I'm going to attend the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium in the fall! Is anyone looking for (non-Stanford affiliated) off-campus housing? Or know what the URL is for the Stanford site for classifieds/roommate searches? I came across it earlier but can't seem to locate it now...
Locrytham Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Never mind-I found it! I was trying to think of SUpost (www.supost.com)
zooey Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 @ Locrytham (sorry if I got that wrong) You should also try the Community Housing service offered by Stanford..If you don't already know, the link is somewhere on their Housing and Dining site. A few seniors of mine have told me that it's actually a pretty good resource for off-campus housing

A few seniors of mine have told me that it's actually a pretty good resource for off-campus housing I second this. Looks like the SUPost list has mostly summer sublets right now whereas the CHS listings have a wider range of places--apartments, condos etc.
Jordan+AirForce1 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 i want to live on campus, so i applied to many options in the housing application. Some options where the number of roommates is more than the number of rooms, are quite inexpensive.
lightyears Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Housing assignments are up. I got Rains 2 bedroom.
zooey Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 EV 3BR/Triple occupancy. Not exactly what I wanted :cry: There's an option to join a waitlist if you're not satisfied with your assignment - you can try for a better option during the second lottery while retaining the current assignment. I'm gonna apply for it anyway; just wanted to know if you guys think its effective? I mean has anyone ever gotten a better assignment through the 2nd lottery? Like I said I'm applying anyway, but just curious...

Like I said I'm applying anyway, but just curious... I don't know about a better assignment--and this is an undergrad datum--but I live in a middle-desirability house on campus right now and plenty of people have been reassigned into this house. Some people with great assignments will end up canceling them for whatever reason, so you definitely have a shot.
socialpsych Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Just make sure, as they say, that you only list places you really want to be reassigned to...because the existing assignment is canceled automatically if they can reassign you.
