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!

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.

i'm a morning person so i would prefer to share people who go bed early. i'm not talkative person so I'd like to share people who are not social. I'm an organised person so I want sharing a room with people who tidy continuously and organise the room after using. According to these previous information about my personality I can't stand sharing flat and I prefer living with myself

I would like a private room with a bathroom, because  sometimes  I prefer to stay alone this it doesn't mean I don't like people , actually I do like them but sometimes I need some space with myself.
