Briefly describe yourself, intertests/activities, living style, and be sure to include a phone #. I would also include a recent picture. Being able to put a face to a possible potential roommate makes a huge difference.
6. Mention how you'll contribute to the living situation: Explain what you will bring to the table as a roommate. Are you a great cook, always have a clean room, or enjoy organizing fun activities? Discuss these skills to show that you will be considerate and easy to live with.
Start by introducing yourself, telling them a bit about yourself, and then ask if they are still looking for a roommate. It is also a good idea to mention why you think you would be a good roommate, such as any shared interests or values. You could also ask them what qualities they are looking for in a roommate.
