    I am going to Trenton, Oh Sept 4th. Millis does put you up in a hotel. $400.00 is the charge for that. I think you pay for that upfront. Have not heard a bad word about the company or its training. I believe the cost is $5000.00 total for training. I put down a hundred to get a seat in training. I am staying with family during my training so won't have to pay that hotel fee. I know a few people that have gone through Millis training recently and they all were very happy! My suggestion is go to the Millis forum in here and read the posts. Good luck to ya Cowboys137!

    the hotel is an additional amount. the 500 you pay up front is part of the $5000 for the training. you have to pay $100 of the money first to reserve your spot in class then you bring the other $400 with you first day of class. if you stay with the company for a year they forgive $2500 of the $5000. leaving you $2000 to pay $20 each week until paid off no intrest. the hotel is $10 extra per week deducted from your check until paid off. but that judt depends on how many days you stayed there and if you had a roommate or not. i went home over the weekends and had a roommate so mine is less than say my buddy scott who stayed the full 3 weeks and 3 days.
    hope this helps. let me know if you need more info

    you would be going to the trenton, oh facility. and everything one dude said is correct. they start classes once a month. so its like boot camp, the class you go in with is the class you will see and leave with. none of this new week new herd coming in. its a #### good program that i researched. i was considering that place (among others) for my initial step. trenton is close to cincy... but trenton is a craphole. i used to play shows at the fisherman's club there and lets just say that you will not be distracted. lol

    Just confirming this is how it works. I am currently in the Richfield class. For the hotel I am checking in Monday afternoons and checking out Friday mornings, giving me only 4 days to pay for a room than go home on weekends as it is only a 1 and 45 minute drive home. The only downfall for me is I am the only one in the class of 3 staying in the hotel so I am paying more if I would of had a roomie. I am getting a "millis" discount with the hotel though, but still is 50 bucks a night. If you can share a room its something like 30ish for a double room that you each pay. Now I think depending on what school you go to the rates might be slightly different because we made a run to Trenton this last week and stayed up in the hotel there and it was cheaper than my room here in WI. However Millis pays that room if you go out on a run like that, but I still paid my night room back in Richfield because I didn't want to take all my stuff out and bring it back in the next day /shrug. Hope this helps.

    If you decide to go with Millis make sure you are committed to at least a year or you will be receiving a hefty bill to pay. From my experience so far is I forsee myself staying there for a very long time so I am not worried about that part of it.
