Please note that you and your family are required to have health insurance for your stay in the US, and you can read the insurance requirements for the J_1 visa here: https://bechtel.stanford.edu/coming-stanford/health-insurance.

It is difficult to find housing in the Stanford area, due to high demand. Please start your search for housing early. There is no reserved on campus housing for visitors. A good place to start looking for resources: https://rde.stanford.edu/studenthousing/community-housing
