Thanks so much for your interest. We are also interested in YOU, and we have a few questions to determine basic goodness of fit to ensure that we are bringing in only folks with the highest happiness potential at Millstone. Please try to have as much fun with this as you can have with an application. Let your personality, needs, quirks and uniqueness come through. Feel free to submit anything that you feel says something about you as a person/potential housemate. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions, and while the format may seem formal, we as people are anything but. So that you have an idea of the process: we use these applications to choose who we would most like to interview. We do interviews one at a time, so in the event that the first interviewee isn't a good fit for our house, we move on to the runner up, and so forth until we find an awesome match. What is your name? Email address? Phone number? What's your timeline? When would you like / be able to move in? Please tell us where you come from, and what brought you to this area or what keeps you here.
