It depends, I prefer to live alone and have my own house, but it'd be much expensive. Sharing a house is pretty good if I’m looking for a better price, and also I’m a college student, so it suits me better because it’s much cheaper.

I prefer living a long when you're young a single.

I prefer to live alone. For me it is important to have the order and design that I love and that I will be the landlady in the apartment I live in.

In my opinion sharing house and living alone have got own advantages. Living with housemates is never boring and always is cheaper :) Living alone gives you a guarantee for a clean bathroom and a full fridge :)

I prefer to live alone so I can lead my own life without any distraction. I still meet my friends sometimes

I would rather live alone or with my family in my country. If I would have a chance to live abroad, I could share my house with a foreign person. In this way, I can learn new things from him/her, for example, culture, language, or other things.

Sharing a house is a super rare option in our country as there aren't many migrants, unlike the industrialized countries. Given that, I am always looking forward to get a housemate thinking it will be a new and challenging experience.

I prefer to live alone because I can do things but not disturb others like loudly listening to music or playing the instrument.

I prefer both options, but it depends on different things. For example, if you have a funny, kind, and clean housemate share a house can be a good option and cheaper. However, if your housemate is not a good person is better to live alone. Both options are good and bad things.

I prefer to live alone despite it's boring, but more conveniently!
