Stanford University has always provided some on-campus housing for students and now makes on-campus student housing available to all undergraduates and many graduate students. Around 96% of undergraduates attending classes at the main campus live on campus as do 62% of eligible graduate students. The program is run by the Stanford's Residential Education office (generally called ResEd).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Residential Education )〕 Undergraduate housing is organized as being East Campus, West Campus, or the Row. East Campus has the complexes of Stern, Wilbur, and Manzanita Park and the standalones of Branner, Toyon, Mirrielees, and Crothers and a small section of Rains (most of the Rains complex is graduate student housing). West Campus has the complexes of Florence Moore Hall, Lagunita Court, and Governor's Corner and the standalone Roble Hall; it also includes the small section of Oak Creek apartments that Stanford is subletting. The Row is on the south-east to south side of campus and consists of about 3 dozen houses housing between 25 and 60 students each. These include the 7 fraternity houses and 3 sorority houses (as of 2014/2015). Married (or officially partnered) undergraduates or those with children are housed with graduate students. Graduate housing consists of Escondido Village, Rains houses, Munger Graduate Residences, or Schwab Residential Center on East Campus and the Lyman Graduate Residences on West Campus. Students with children live in the Escondido Village low-rises. Due to the difficulty of finding reasonably priced off-campus housing and shortage of on-campus housing, Stanford has also leased a large number of off-campus apartments and subleases them to graduate students. == History == The architects of Stanford University originally proposed that student housing consist of cottages each housing 15 to 25 students with the cottages for the men to the south-east of the main quad of the university and for the women to the south-west. The founders, Leland and Jane Stanford, rejected the idea and decided that the recently built Hôtel Kursaal de la Maloja in Switzerland would be the model for the original men's dorm, Encina Hall, housing 300.〔 Encina Hall proved problematic as a dorm and now houses the administrative offices and the Political Science department. Encina Hall was built well to the east of the Main Quad while the first women's dorm, the original Roble Hall, was built well to the west of the Main Quad just before the university opened in 1891 (about a half a mile separated the two halls). The name, Roble Hall, was later moved to the current Roble Hall (built 1917) and the original building renamed Sequoia Hall, used as a men's dorm then the Statistics department, and eventually torn down in 1996. East side Branner and Toyon Halls were built in the 1920s for men and west side Lagunita Court was built in the 1930s in part to house the growing number of women after the hard cap of 500 women students was partially lifted. East side Stern and Wilbur halls were built in the 1940s again to house men and west side Florence Moore Hall in 1956 for women. The later 1960s and early 1970s saw all the residence halls become co-ed. No new halls will then built for some time though the Manzanita trailer park was set up in 1969 to provide cheap housing. In the early 1980s west side Sterling Quad was built and in the early 1990s east side Kimball, Castaño, and Lantana Halls were built on what had been the trailer park. In addition to the residence halls there are also the Row Houses for undergraduates; many were originally fraternity or sorority houses though only 10 of the current 35 are now.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://studentaffairs.stanford.edu/resed/profiles/row )〕 Graduate student residence halls also were built such as Crothers and Crothers Memorial in the 1950s for male law students and engineers respectively (these are now undergraduate residences) though most graduate housing are apartment complexes such as Lyman opened in 1997, Munger, Rains, and Schwab (the last has priority for business students) and the multitude of apartment complexes in Escondido Village. Escondido village also has many town houses, known as "low-rises", where students with children can live and its own elementary school, Escondido School part of the Palo Alto Unified School District. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanford University student housing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
