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 prefer not to wake up early, go to bed about 12 or later. I don’t smoke. I like to eat different foods, listen to music, read, watch series and movies, and sometimes play video games. I like to travel and people with an open mind. I would like to share accommodation with people who respect the personal space of the neighbors.

I would like to share a house with girls.

I would like to share a flat with people around my age, open mind, that they like to take care of their healthy, vegetarians.

For the accommodation i prefer a quiet and comfort room outside the campus and a private room

i like my room mate to be exactly like me, a quiet and social person and i don't mind for anything

I would like to share accomodation with persons that like to read and to study and too make exersice sometimes

I would like to share the room with non smoker,vegan,early riser,less talkative and one who maintain cleanliness.

I prefer to get up early and want to share with other morning people. I don’t smoke, but I don’t mind smoking or non-smoking accommodation. My roommate's food preferences don't matter, too, if she won’t try to change mine. The most important thing for me is a sensible measure of communication, the opportunity to relax in silence, so the ideal roommate is a friendly introvert, who respects the personal space of the neighbor.

Since I will not describe myself as a talkative person, I will say prefer to share the room with a quiet roomate. Additionally, I wake up early every day an exercise after have eaten a healthy breakfast. Therefore, it would be better to share the room with someone with the same routines and way of living. Finally, I do not smoke hence to share the room with a non-smoker is a must.

I would like to share a an accommodation with people from all over the world, who enjoy talking. It's important to be organised people too.
