I played football for my sixth-form school and I am hoping to join a university team. I'm a morning person and I get up early to train and go to the gym. So I would prefer to share with other people who don't like late nights either! Also I am vegetarian and, if possible, I would prefer to share a kitchen with other non-meat eaters.

Tips

  1. If the form is on paper, write clearly. Use capital letters if your handwriting isn't clear.
  2. If there is not much space to write, make a list instead of writing full sentences.
  3. Check it. It's easy to make small mistakes!

I don't mind sharing the room with others. I don't smoke, so i would prefer a non-smoker as my roommate. I eat meat, so his/her eating preferences don't matter to me. I'm a night person, but i want to change myself. So, i would prefer someone who goes to bed early.

i prefer to shar a house or a flat with referenced people. They mustn't smoke and they don't have to be noisy people. I prefer if they have my same hobbies and i don't mind if they are foreign people. I am excited to discover new cultures and to hear stories about their countries. It is fantastic if they are excellents cooks or if they love animals, like me.

I stay up late and I don't smoke, so I would prefer to share with non-smoking people and I don't mind people who like late nights. I also like people from around the world, so I'd prefer to share with people from different countries.

I like playing football, this is my passion, so I prefer to share my apartment with another one who is interested in football too. Also, I don't smoke, therefore, I prefer sharing facilities with people who are a non-smoking person. I would like to have a roommate who is a foreigner because I'm an English learner, so I want to practice English as much as possible.

Hi guys. I prefer to share facilities with other. I like to have many freinds with other culture and other personality. I think it's so funny:) I'm guitarist and it's so important that my flatmate to be a guitarist , because i practice allday long and it's a disaster for non musicians people. At the end i am applying for Concordia university for winter season and i am so excited :))))))

I’m single person, I played football for the team of my country and I am hoping to study English in the university. I’m a clean person and like to spend time to reading books. So I wouldn’t like to share with other people who like play rugby. I love the noodles and I usually make it.
