I prefer to live alone as it offers more flexibility and independence. Also, I am a person who thrives on routine and it is essential for my well-being to maintain these routines every day. Living with housemates can make it challenging to do so. Moreover, you never know who your housemates might be. You may find yourself stuck with noisy party animals, a chatterbox or a pathologist who brings their work home :))).

I prefer to living with my own self, of course. Because much more flexibility to get an activity. But the most important is freedom :)

I prefer living on my own because I would like to have personal space in which I can do whatever I want without making somebody else annoyed. Also, I find it uncomfortable to live with someone that I do not know well.

I am a sociable person. I like sharing a house with others. While on holiday, I prefer to share my room with a friend as long as everyone is respectful of the other's habits.

I prefer live alone, but in case of financial difficulties, I am obliged to share a three-bedroom house in minimum , and i'll be lucky if i find a good persons to share with , because it's not easy to live with anyone in the same place , first of all , everyone wants to be free in their house and do what they want, besides, we don't know the behavior of our housemate , if he's a good man or a bad one, that's why , we should be careful in choosing our housemate.

I prefer to live alone.Because i want to do something my own way. I dont want who try to control and check my every steps. If i study in abroad i will definitly share a house in abroad. Because of financial situation. In my country rent of a month is aproximately 100 euro in one room for one person.
