Stanford actually has some variance in the price of housing for sophomores, juniors and seniors — if they pick one of the apartment style housing, room cost is actually higher although they could save money on food as they don’t have to purchase a full meal plan or meal plan at all perhaps.

I think most do not choose between P and S based on housing alone. But just in case it’s important for some, Stanford has 3 tiers of housing. The Mirrielees apartments that house only 5% of upperclassmen is the most expensive but most people apply there because of dietary restrictions eg med, religious, maybe cost since you don’t have to take the mandatory meal plan elsewhere. The vast majority live in traditional dorms where there is staff, dining halls (or cook), structure etc. The third and cheapest accommodation are the co-op theme houses (culture, language, how stoned you’d like to get) where it’s cheaper because there is no staff. Students take turns working on what the group needs eg cleaning etc. The difference in cost are not stark, perhaps $500/qtr. [/quote]
