Different from traditional accommodation, Stanford University's student accommodation area includes academic theme and single theme apartment buildings, ethnic theme apartment buildings, self-management and cooperative residential areas, subject buildings, apartments and suites, etc. At present, the residence of Stanford University undergraduates can be divided into: 10 first-year student building, 18 comprehensive building, 48 senior student building, 10 Greek building, 1 second-year student building, 2 first-year and second-year student buildings, 8 academic and language theme buildings, 7 subject buildings and 4 national cultural theme buildings.
All apartment buildings are supported by student backbones and management assistants to promote the realization of residential education goals. In a word, residential education plays the following five basic roles in every residential area: intellectual participation and expansion, providing support for academic progress and success, promoting the construction of diversified communities, cultivating leadership and promoting personal and social development.

In addition, Stanford's canteen:
In solving the problem of students' dining, Stanford, like many universities in the United States, is to build a restaurant and let it go, which is run by well-known and qualified catering enterprises in society. There are many American brand catering enterprises operating in Stanford University. And almost every small area on campus has a restaurant, which is very convenient. Colleges and universities introduce social forces to solve catering problems, and hand over problems such as variety, price, hygiene and food safety to the society. With less burden on schools, students have more choices. It is up to the students to decide which to eat, which to eat and how much to eat. In order to expand business, the store will try its best to provide good services for students. (The picture shows the Stanford University restaurant)
Finally, talk about Stanford's campus activities:
Stanford University has the Cantor Art Center, which has 24 art galleries, statue gardens and courtyards. This museum was originally built by Leland Stanford and his wife in memory of their only son. Cantor Art Center is the largest collection center of Rodin's works outside Paris. There are also some large outdoor artworks on campus, mainly sculptures and some murals. There are some handmade wood carvings and "totem poles" in the Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden near Rob's dormitory. Stanford has a thriving art and music community. Extracurricular activities include Sheep Head Troupe and Stanford Shakespeare Society. Award-winning cappella groups include: ascetic monks, rebel points, group street singers, harmony, mixed partners, certificates, magic symbols, mortals, and a Sacramento group specializing in the interpretation of Gilbert and Sullivan's works. The dance club in Stanford is one of the most dynamic clubs in this country. The drama department has a dance department with more than 30 different dance-related student groups, including the Stanford drum band Dolly Dance Company.
Perhaps the most distinctive ones are ballroom dancing and wine dancing in Stanford, which are influenced by dance historian Richard Bowles and supported by hundreds of students and alumni. Stanford holds three informal dances every year, as well as a big dance every quarter, including the Regetam dance in autumn, the Stanford Vienna dance in winter and the big dance in spring. Stanford also has a famous student-run swing dance troupe and several alumni performance groups. Creative writing courses bring young writers together in schools through steig scholarships and other graduate scholarships. Byass Wolfe, the author of A Boy's Life, is in charge of writing instruction for undergraduates and postgraduates. Knight journalism scholarship winners will be invited to stay in school for one year, study courses of interest and attend seminars. There is also a writing and performance group for students' extracurricular activities, the Stanford Speaking Group and the Stanford Poetry Reading Group. Stanford University also offers various publishing courses for professionals.
