I prefer to live alone so that I can concentrate on my lessons. Living alone makes me more comfortable and freedom.I can do anything that I really want to do without noise, with peaceful mind and own decision.I love living alone though I feel lonely sometimes.

To live alone is much better than sharing an accommodation because you may have your own space and there will be no one to poke a nose.

I prefer to live alone rather than with a housemate. In my opinion, if you live alone you will have a lot of privacy.

I prefer to live alone. I already lived for five years shared a room, and bathroom and everything. It's no good.

Sometimes, I want to live alone because I like quite and privacy area. I can focus on thinking about some issues in my life. But, I also want to share a house. It make me happy and they can help me when I have trouble. They can share cooking, cleaning every day. It's so happy.

I like to living alone, because I don't like the noise and bustle. And also a lot of problems occur when living together. I don't like disturbing people around me too much.

I prefer living alone, ´cause there are a lot of aspects which can affect the living together. E.g the way how I cook and maybe the others do not like, the tv programs I watch, the music I listen to and so forth.

In my opinion the sheared part of the house like kitchens, loving room its better because that help you to communicate in better way ,also to shear the idea and have more knowledge about the society specially in cuse its not your mother home land and you are in scholarship period . That help you to be wide knowledge person , and have more ideas and to stop the side affect just you can be in your bedroom but in case you live alone you will have more problem , perhaps! You will need more time to integrate with the new society and learn them traditional .
