'''ELS is a cooperative living space'''. In ELS this means: | |||
* We buy food and drink as a group and share them. We expect guests to participate in the cooperative by contributing to purchases of food and drink for the house and by consuming things that the house buys. | * We buy food and drink as a group and share them.

* We're rather informal about things. We ''don't'' do formal splitting of bills for groceries and house items. That means if you haven't purchased stuff for a while, maybe you should buy something written on the fridge! The details of the cooperative—in terms of payment, what is purchased, and special items that belong to one person, etc.—is always up for discussion. | * We're rather informal about things.

We typically eat rather late (9-10:30pm most nights) but things are flexible about things and try to work around each others schedules. We typically start cooking—and drinking cocktails—closer to 8-8:30pm each night and we'd love it if you joined us for that too. | ||
* Don't expect the same level of privacy that you would get in a hotel or apartment. The guest room leads to the sun room, and others may pass through to work from that space. The walls are fairly thin. We do respect closed doors. | * Don't expect the same level of privacy that you would get in a hotel or apartment.

Other things you should know: | |||
* ELS is vegetarian. You don't have to be vegetarian, but we do ask that you be vegetarian in the parts of your life that take place here. We do not buy or cook meat and would prefer that you do not bring meat to cook or eat in the house either (at least not while we are around). Dairy products and eggs are not a problem. | * ELS is vegetarian. You don't have to be vegetarian, but we do ask that you be vegetarian in the parts of your life that take place here.
