Pre-Assignment

Main content start

Students apply for university theme houses through the Pre-Assignment process. Some of Stanford's on-campus residences offer special academic, cultural, social, or leadership programs, while other residences are co-ops. Co-ops offer a space where  the cooking and cleaning for residents is performed by the students who live in the house.

More About Pre-Assignment

One of the core tenets of the housing assignments process is to support these unique residential programs through the University Theme House Pre-Assignment process.

Students who want to live in a residence with a University Theme House can come together with other students to create a community committed to exploring a topic, lifestyle, or culture.
