Student life at Stanford is more than classes—it’s about discovering new ideas, building community, and immersing yourself in everything the university has to offer. From hundreds of clubs for both undergraduates and graduates, to co-operative living spaces, to campus events and Greek organizations, Stanford offers you countless ways to learn and grow.

With more than 70 on-campus residences to choose from — traditional dorms, themed houses, co-ops, and everything in between — there's a living situation for every kind of student. Whether you want to live with friends, immerse yourself in a language and culture, or just find a tight-knit community to call home, Stanford’s approach to residential education helps you blend your academic passions with your everyday life.
Clubs & Orgs
