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!

Now, i am a student so i am sharing room with 2 classmates. I see that is so fun and happy when you haven't to eat, sleep, cook by myself. But that isnt all. Sometimes, i just want have private room because I and my roomates haven't the same hobbies and schedules . I think when i have a job after graduating, i will rent a single room with bathroom.

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.
