Dear Class of 2027, Check your home mailbox - we recently sent you a small Approaching Stanford Mailing! The items in the mailing are all informational and available online and in Canvas, so don't worry if it takes some time to reach you. We hope by now you've found your way to Approaching Stanford and have looked through our materials, noted the summer timeline, and have an understanding for what you'll need to do to prepare for Stanford.
First Year HousingAs a new student, you will submit your Housing Application as part of your Approaching Stanford Forms, due June 7. So this week's email is all about frosh housing!

Frosh Housing OptionsStanford has a widely diverse range of on-campus residences for undergraduate students; there is something for everyone! As a new student, you will be assigned to live in one of Stanford's eight Neighborhoods, which you and your friends will call "home" throughout your time here. Unless selected into a theme house, you will be assigned to a Neighborhood and to an all-frosh residence. (Note: You cannot select your specific Neighborhood or all-frosh residence.)
For incoming frosh, the Housing Application is part of your Approaching Stanford Forms, due June 7. Learn about these First-Year Housing Options, and rank them on your forms. You are required to rank all the options (except SLE and ITALIC, which require course enrollment):
- All-frosh housing, on a mixed-gender floor
- All-frosh housing, on a single-gender floor
- Casa Zapata - Chicanx/Latinx American ethnic theme house, 4-class
- Muwekma-Tah-Ruk - Indigenous Peoples in the Americas and Pacific Islands ethnic theme house, 4-class
- Okada House - Asian American ethnic theme house, 4-class
- Ujamaa House - Black Diaspora ethnic theme house, 4-class
- Explore Energy academic theme house, 4-class
- Public Service & Civic Engagement academic theme house, 4-class
- Structured Liberal Education (SLE) academic theme house, all-frosh & 4-class
- Immersion in the Arts (ITALIC) academic theme house, 4-class
Get a taste for living on The Farm by reading these frosh housing experiences of current Stanford students. Everyone is unique, so we encourage you to read these comments and attend info sessions, but pay attention to your own desires for your living environment. Rank the options based on where you think you'll best be able to thrive.
