DCP Roommate Survey (Template + Example)

Hello people! This is my roommate survey using a template. If you wish to use this template just copy and paste it, and delete my answers and insert your own! There's always a bunch of these floating around. If there's ever important information you wish to add you're more than welcome to do so! For example, I added religion to this template because I thought people should know I'm Christian. Even though I'm open to living with people of any religions (or people with a lack of religion), some people might not want to live with me because I'm Christian. Last DCP I lived with one other Christian, one Mormon, two Atheists, and one Jew and it worked out wonderfully!! You may want to add sexual orientation or desired future career or something like that and you're more than welcome to! Whatever information will help you find the best fit for roommates is important to include. So here's my roommate survey if I were to do one at this very moment :)

Do you have any siblings? One sister (19)

DCP DETAILS

Are you applying for WDW or DL? Disney World <3
Start Date: TBD
Flying or Driving: Driving from Colorado
Your Role?: TBD! First program was QSFB
What program are you applying for? Spring
Do you want to live in Wellness or Non-Wellness? Either
How many people do you want to live with? I'd love an apartment with 6-8 people total!
Which housing complex would you like to live in?: Not too picky but I'd ideally like the Commons!
Alumni? Yes, September 2014-January 2015

LIFESTYLE

Do you party? How often? Nope, never. Unless we're talking like a game night/movie night or something chill like that.
Do you smoke? No.
Do you drink? Yes, but never to get drunk! And I have no problem living in Wellness and only having a drink when I go out to eat at restaurants/Epcot (it'll save me money and calories anyway!).
Can you cook? Yes
Are you a night person or morning person? Neither haha I like to sleep (but I'm a SUPER heavy sleeper). If I had to pick one I'd probs go with night person.
Do you snore? Only if sick!
What does your bedroom normally look like? Pretty clean, sometimes it takes me awhile to fold and put away my laundry though.
Do you like it when your room is hot or cold? Cold for sure.
Would you rather go out or stay in? I can confidently say I'll be spending the majority of my time off in the parks! So if "out" means Disney adventures and going to the beach and fun stuff like that, then go out. But I don't really like late nights so I'm not a "clubber".
What do you like to do on your days off/the weekend? Go to the parks and explore Orlando! But mostly go the parks :)
Do you work out a lot? Only when I'm at school. I'll be getting basically all my exercise in Disney form walking around the parks haha

PERSONALITY

Three words that describe you: Fun, hungry (haha), and easygoing
One good quality: I am super easy to get along with
One bad quality: I can be sarcastic sometimes which doesn't always fly with people. You're more than welcome to let me know if I overstep though and I'll TOTALLY apologize and be more careful with my words!! I never mean anything maliciously.
Are you outgoing or quiet? A pretty solid mix! More outgoing in small groups and quieter in large groups.
Do you like hanging out with people or keeping to yourself? Again, mix of both! I like hanging with people during the day but having nights and mornings to myself (AKA when I'm the most tired and cranky haha)
What would you want in a roommate? Someone who knows how to clean up after themselves (this means will do dishes and take out trash ;)), someone who is easygoing, and someone who is NOT passive aggressive. Or just aggressive. Basically someone who is positive and can talk about any issues they have in a respectful manner :) And of course someone who can't wait to hangout in the parks and turn our apartment into our Disney home!!! 
What are your biggest pet peeves/dislikes? People who complain a lot or are disrespectful.
Are you messy or organized? Fairly organized.
How do you feel about sharing? Willing to share things if you ask! Except food. I like my food. But I will make muffins or something where people can totally help themselves
Do you like having people over a lot? A few people is totally fine, but not large groups and definitely not parties with drinking! 
Favorite thing to do: Go on walks, play in the parks (obviously), read, play volleyball, watch movies, and eat. You have probably gathered that I like food.
Favorite Music: Disney, country, and rock. Currently I'm OBSESSED with Home Free, and have always loved Rascal Flatts and Lincoln Park. 
Favorite TV Shows: Once Upon A Time and Pretty Little Liars (but I'll be honest, I have also watched the Bachelor and Dance Moms). My ALL-TIME FAVS were Psych and Make It Or Break It but those got discontinued :,(
Favorite Movies: Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, basically all Disney movies, and Mamma Mia
Favorite Food: Mashed potatoes with gravy. Also Ben & Jerry's Half Baked ice cream. And DEFINITELY Disney chicken nuggets. And fruit! I LOVE mango, berries, papaya, and honeydew. 
Favorite Candy: Australian style red licorice
Favorite Drink: Chai tea, fresh juice, and bubble tea
Favorite Color: Blue and purple
