Housing Application for c/o 2012
Simple enough question:

Who is sticking to the 250 word guidelines, and who is going to risk annoying the Housing Gods?


Personally, I think I may just risk it. Right now, mine is at about 450 words, and there isn't much I could cut down on.

This is like writing my application essay, all over again.

Oh wow. Mine coincidentally ended up at 250 words exactly after I had put in everything I could think of. Though along the same lines, I don't like talking about myself, and I tried to avoid repeating anything that they had already asked.

Worst comes to worst, they stick you with other verbose freshmen. :P I'm trying to keep them happy so maybe they'll pay extra attention to the few requests I did have.

Hahaha, really, you got to exactly 250? Shoot. I wasn't even talking about me, I was just blabbing on and on... but then when I finished, I couldn't find anything to delete!

Maybe I just need to reword everything...
