Kids under 18 who need to rent a place for the summer in Palo Alto

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>So I was recently accepted to SIMR, and I live about 90 minutes away. I would prefer to stay in the area, but I'm not sure how to go about renting someplace. I'm still 16, so even though I will have a car, I can't sublease a Stanford dorm for the summer. There are a few other SIMR kids in the same position as me, so we would all be open to sharing rooms/housing/whatever.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any advice?</p>

<p>If you don’t want to apply to summer housing for SIMR, you can actually try to sublet from a grad student. Technically, they aren’t even allowed to sublet to undergrads, but they do it all the time.</p>

<p>If that doesn’t work for you, there are rooms available in Palo Alto (usually someone in a house or apartment has a room). Or you and a few others can rent a house/apartment. The downside is that it can be hard to find such near campus, so unless one of you has a car, you’ll have to figure out the transportation (the Marguerite would service only very selective parts).</p>

<p>Try this for postings:</p>

<p>[SUpost</a> Classifieds](<a href=“http://www.supost.com%5DSUpost”>http://www.supost.com)</p>

<p>It has postings from Stanford and Palo Alto. You can also try craigslist, but I always found more success on supost.</p>

<p>I don’t think we’re allowed to apply for summer housing at Stanford. The SIMR website says you have to be 18. Where would I look to sublet from a grad student? Is there a website or something?</p>

<p>I do have a car, so as long as it’s pretty close to Stanford it should be fine. Thanks for the link I will check it out!</p>
