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

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

house and home

I like everything neat and tidy so I prefer to share my house or flat with other people the same as me. I only share the living room and the kitchen because all three bedrooms in the flat are en suite. I don't care if my roommate is a vegetarian or not, a night owl, or an early bird but necessarily a non-smoker. I hope my flatmates to be honest, friendly, diligent, and especially good at foreign languages. I can learn a lot of things from them.

I would like to share room with people from another countries that me. I like meeting people! I am not a smoker. So, I would like to share no smoke acommodation. I'm a morning person and I like to be alone. I want the place to be quiet.

I would like to share room or flat or house who has same characters with me if possible. I don't like those people who likes late night, I also don't like talkative people and I can't sleep if the light is on.

Eek! It's a tough question. I'm kind of introvert person so I'm not a pally kind of guy if you ask. No, I like to talk to someone, share some funny stuff or laugh at something but I like to be alone sometimes. I like reading or listening to music without anybody. So I glad I didn't share a room with someone in my university days. If I had to? Well, it's definitely should be a morning person, I get up quite early and it's good to feel comfortable and not trying to stay quiet. Non-smoker, of course. As for me, I'm a social smoker and can treat myself with a cigar in the company but I hate cigarette smoke. And of course, it must be someone with sense of humor. I can't share the room with someone boring ))

I would like to share a room first of all with responsible people. I hate irresponsibility. I also like people who eat healthy food and nonsmokers. Living with funny and positive people is useful for health too.

I would like to share my house with people from different country. i think I compatible so i dont think i have a problem.Though I smoke cigarette but not much.Maximum two and three cigarette a day. and I love reading a lot book and watching movie.

- Shared room (with one other student) - Off-campus - No smoke I like to play videos game, do things on the computer, listen to music, and love to travel. My English is still not good, it’s better if my flatmates have the same level as me so we can practice together. I prefer to stay up late, so please allocate me with other people who have no problem with that. Also, I want the place to be quiet, people can listen to music but not too loud.

It is better to share accommodation with different nationality in order to know about their culture and their language.

i am Sudanese i want to live with Sudanese students i prefer single room with two or more student i want exercise by walking to university so i prefer off campus accommodation i am meat eater i prefer kitchen with other meat eater i am not smoker i would like to live with non smoke people i get up early i prefer share room with other don,t like night

As I'm trying to give up smoking that's why I would prefer to share a house or flat with a non-smoker guy. I have no problem with whether the mate is vegetarian or not because I'm am suitable with both of them. Besides, I would like a flat-mate who may come from different countries. I have another preference which is the mate should not to go to bed late as I am trying to make myself early-riser.
