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!

Personally, I would like to share my accommodation with someone who is considerate, organised, and respectful but not the point when they are boring.

I would like to share the kitchen with women, because in my opinion, they are tidier. Also, I do not smoke, so I prefer a non-smoking apartment. I would like to have a single room with a private bathroom. It would be more convenient for me. I hope you can find a suitable room for me. Thank you!

I would like to share a flat with my friends. We are all non-smokers so we would prefer non-smoking accommodation. We don't really like to walk so on campus would be perfect. We are night owls so we wouldn't like to bother our neighbors if they like to wake up early. I don't mind to share a bathroom and we don't need a kitchen. We don't really know how to cook. We aren't vegetarians.

I smoke so I would like to share a flat with smokers. Otherwise, if a non-smoker share a room with me, both of us will be upset.

I would like to share my flat with friends from different countries because I enjoy making new friends.

I like a tidy and clean home. I prefer non-smokers, and I hope we can keep the flat clean and tidy together.

I prefer roommates who likes videogame and understand this area. I also don't smoke and want to keep the non-smoking apartment as possible.

if I have to share accommodation, I would like to share with people who have a good personality, who wake up early and don't stay up late because staying up late affects not only them but also me. Ideally, I need a flatmate who attends the same university to have easier conversations and exchange knowledge.

I'm an early bird. I go to the gym three times a week and go swimming twice a week. So I prefer someone who is good at conversation and motivation.

Someone who is independent but sometimes likes to share their life and have conversations with me just to get to know each other. The most important thing is that they are not a Messy person

I prefer to share accommodation with someone who doesn't smoke, is from another country, isn't vegetarian, and wakes up early.
