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!

I prefer live with myself in an appartment of my own, but now i live with 2 more girls that are my friends, so we are fine, My only problem is that they are smoker and they smoke in the common part sometimes. I can't stand the smell
I prefer to have my private home, because I really a clean girl and I cant share my personal thing with another, so I want to live alone, I feel more relax and can do every thing I like without permission of anybody
I would like to stay a single room with have a bathroom. Because cleaning is importent for me. I don't smoke, so I would prefer non-smoking accomadation. I like to wake up early, so I would prefer who not going to bed late. I like to walk on beach, so I would prefer to stay near the sea.
Sharing the house is an essential issue because when people stay with another person you have to be in accordance with the other individual's preferences. Otherwise, rise a lot of problems. if a person wants to refrain from these problems, the person has to choose good behavior roommates. ı would like to share accommodation with a good accordance person and night owl. A person who loves to eat meat is preferences
I don't prefer to share my room with others
What kind of people would you like to share a house or flat with?
I enjoy meeting new people, so as long as I have a roommate, I'm fine:) However, it would be preferable if I shared a room with someone in the same class or course.
I prefer to share a room with a non-smoker person because I hate the smoke of tobacco. And it's ok to share a bathroom with others as long as they keep the bathroom clean.
I need a non-smoking accommodation. And I prefer to share the kitchen with non-meat-eating flatmates because I'm a vegetarian. I'd love to live off-campus if it's close to city center. I really mind sharing facilities, so I would like to request a single room with a bathroom and the kitchen.
In my case, I prefer to share my room with a non smocking person.
