Hey there,


Well i'll begin with what i'm having trouble with :P


I'm applying for univeristy and halls of residence next year but i literally can not think of something to write for the halls of residence application... i don't have a clue at all. This may be due to not taking english/listening so much in class (which i am kicking myself for now!).


So here's my question... How would i start off an intro for this question "Responsibilities and Interests/Personal Description


Please include positions of responsibility and/or awards you have received (1000 characters)"

I'm not looking for a huge intro but just the starting of the intro.


Any help at all would be very apperciated


Regards,

Jared

I'm not sure what you need to mention in your application. After all, I didn't have to answer questions like that when I applied for a dorm room. I merely put my name down and paid. :-)

 

Why don't you write something up and let us look at it?

Hi,

So here's my question... How would i start off an intro for this question "Responsibilities and Interests/Personal Description


Please include positions of responsibility and/or awards you have received (1000 characters)"

 

I wonder if they want this info so that they can find you a room-mate who has roughly similar interests? Do they do that kind of thing?

Anyway, it just sounds to me like they want a list in point form, so that no intro would be necessary.

eg

Responsibilities

Captain of my high-school soccer team

 

Hall monitor

 

Interests

Soccer

 

Photography

 

Best wishes, Clive
