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 would like to share a room with someone who can handle the fact that I like to stay up late. Im good at being quiet though, so they dont have to share this trait. I prefer my roommate to be a non-smoker if possible, and it would be nice if they are into culture and arts so we have something in common to talk about.

I would like to share my room with someone. Someone from a different culture and country. That would be interesting.

I prefer a private room because I like to stay alone. However, I like to talk to other people and share different cultures or hobbies. I like to get up early in the morning and sleep on time. Also, I want to find a nearby school of accommodation, as it can help reduce my morning stress. I have more time to do other things.

I would like to share a room with a smoking person because I also smoke so I can deal with it. I don't have a problem with sharing a bathroom, but I can't share bathroom kits. I am humble and talkative, so my future roommate doesn't need to worry. Just make yourself feel at home. Lastly, I just can do simple cooking, so if you are Masterchef, I won't hesitate to accept you as my roommate :).
