Your education doesn’t begin and end at the classroom door.
At Stanford GSB, you will also learn from a community of people eager to share their experiences and knowledge. Stanford’s residential environment was designed to foster these connections.
Stanford MBA students have three main residential options: Stanford GSB Residences, Stanford on-campus housing, and off-campus housing.

Timing Your MBA Program Application for Housing
Admitted students have the option to enter Stanford’s housing lottery. To participate in the first round of the lottery, you need to submit your application to the MBA program in the first or second round. If you apply in round three you will still have an opportunity to apply for Stanford graduate housing, and assignments will be made on a rolling basis.
