I remember the "day in the life" videos going back to Mikaela Ruef and Brittany McPhee. Always fun to get a glimpse into what a student-athlete's life is. Wilson comes across as quite the crack-up artist.
Do all the student athletes live off campus these days? Stanford used to require that athletes live in dorms their freshman year--maybe they still do? But after that year I think all the day-in-a-life videos have shown them coming from off campus--which means unsubsidized sky-high rents in Palo Alto.
In any case, these videos must be good for recruiting.

Enjoyed the video. One thing that struck me was the specific product mentions (e.g., Starbucks, just got the coffee, show the label . . . , shoes from Nike . . . , clothes by . . . ). Is Haley getting NIL money as a result of this video? I.e., in the past, would she not have made such comments? If so, how the world has changed -- not saying it's a good or bad things. Just different.

I understood that all undergrad students, including athletes, lived on campus for 4 years. Some of the neighborhood housing areas have very nice apartment buildings.

When I was a student, living off campus was an option, and in fact we were only guaranteed housing for 3/4 years. Since then Stanford has build a lot more housing. Maybe they changed their policy and require living on campus now?

I think the policy is the same as in the olden days, you are only required to live on campus during freshman year; the big change is that you are guaranteed four years in campus housing instead of three.

From Stanford Student Life: 97% of students live on campus. So approximately 210 students off campus; I'd think mostly grad students

Stanford subsidizes off-campus housing since demand is greater than on-campus housing. So a number of students can live off campus in private apartments and still be counted as part of the Stanford housing system. I seem to remember Ruef living off campus in her "day in a life" video and Jones appears to as well, but it might all be part of the housing system.
I've bumped into Stanford WBB players at the grocery stored several times over the last decade--not sure why they would head all the way to the Midtown Safeway if they were living on campus. I did not feel it was my place to ask them where they lived.
RE: WBB: Haley Jones, A day in the Life video - 2006alum - 01-04-2022
IIRC, a lot of athletes lived off campus as juniors and seniors, not necessarily because of lack of housing, but because they didn't have to get a meal plan, since they had such specific dietary needs and got a lot of their meals through Arrillaga/athlete dining hall. The only meal-plan-free options were Mirrielees and Suites, which during my time was where about 90% of the upper-class athletes who lived on campus lived. Not sure if that has changed, but my sense was that very few non-athletes lived off campus.

I live pretty near the Midtown Safeway and I'm not sure why anyone shops there . . . well other than folks like me for whom its proximity (and my laziness) outweigh myriad other considerations militating in favor of shopping elsewhere!
P.S. At beginning of video, the view outside Jones' window kinda looked like part of campus (but it was only a fleeting glance that I did not rewind). I thought it might be those relatively new, higher-rise (too high, imo) buildings right on campus, somewhat near the Campus/Serra roundabout (think Escondido Village used to be there). But in truth, I've never been in those buildings, so I could be WAY off. Plus, the point about driving into campus on Palm Drive is a good one (though really, what local does that?).
