My university is about two hundred miles from my home town so I live in a hall of (1) residence. I was a bit worried about living with so many students at first but it's great fun and I've made lots of new friends. I like being more (2) indepent too, but I'm not good at cooking so it's good to be able to get hot food when I need it. One problem is the noise. I've got exams soon and sometimes it's really (3) annoying. And having lots of people around can be a bit of a (4) distraction. But we talked about how to prepare for the exams in my last (5) tutorail so I think I'll be OK. Everyone is going through the same thing so we can all help each other.
