The Stanford residence system is one of the most varied, programmatically and physically, of any university in the country. In 1973-74, there were 64 distinct residences to which undergraduates were assigned. The scope of this study is whether or not Stanford University is denying many undergraduate students participation in its residence programs. This document is an attempt to present the reports and data about the student housing situation in coherent language. It should also serve as a basis for the decision on the construction of new residences. Contained in this document are sections covering a historical perspective, recommendations, estimates of needed new housing spaces, quality of new housing, timetables, paying for new housing, and an annotated bibliography on undergraduate residential housing. Appendixes include demand calculations, factors outside Stanford, reports of overbuilding at other institutions, and a description of the draw process. Statistical tables accompany the text.
