That said, the vast majority of graduate students live in off-campus housing where pet policies could go either way.

Graduate housing as offered by the university is generally a poor option, mostly taken by international students who are unable to locate an apartment or do not want the hassle

This might be true for many universities but definitely not all.

At Stanford, the majority of graduate students live in university-owned housing. It’s nicer and cheaper than other student-budget options in Sillicon Valley. University housing, unfortunately, doesn’t allow pets except to accommodate registered disabilities.

My second choice after Stanford was Columbia - where most graduate students live in university housing too.
