Stanford's Bechtel International Center maintains a very active program of services and events for foreign students and their families. In addition, the immediately adjacent city of Palo Alto has numerous movie theaters, bookstores, several small theater groups, and a variety of good, affordable restaurants, coffee houses, and delis. San Francisco, one of America's most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities, is only a 40 minute drive to the North and offers even more opportunities for culture, dining, and relaxation. Stanford makes every effort to provide housing for all first year graduate students. Graduate students are often housed in apartments, either in Escondido Village or Rains, two large housing complexes on campus.
Additional housing is found in the surrounding community.
