MoogleViper Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 What sort of thing should I put under general interests? Does it means things such as hobbies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Sports, general music taste. Anything you think is appropriate. I think they use this to group people, like get someone with general interests in the samish area. Its not too important. But I found that a guy like 2 doors down loved skiing and put that down like I did. We are now great friends and living with each other next year! Unfortunately not in the same bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say, if you like beer, you would want to be with people who also enjoy beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zell Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 It's more important to stress whether you're a "loud" or "quiet" person, as I reckon they locate you more to loud and quiet areas of halls. If you don't want to have a ground floor room next to the entrance where you won't be able to get any sleep, then don't put down "I like to go to clubs and stay out late". It's not the best place to be during exam time! Having similar interest is cool, but you'll make new friends anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! To be fair, I'm a cider man. And most of my lot aren't. More strongbow for me because people don't want me to share it with them :p I say beer more as a blanket term.I like lager, not beer =] Tell them you hate smokers. Yeah, even if you do smoke you dont want to stank of it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 You won't be allowed to smoke in your residence (though people may sneaky-window it) so asking for non-smokers is, frankly, ignorant, and you'll miss out on some AWESOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
