I prefer to share the house rather than live alone. Sharing helps to make new friends. In hard days you'll find support, and on good days you 'll enjoy together. I think life is exciting when you share it with people.

Currently I live with my parent. So, I don't know the feeling of live alone or sharing house. If I move out from my parent house in future. I prefer to share a house. Sharing a house can get new friends, communication, experience and environment. Also you can save your money for sharing a house.

i prefer to live alone. i had a chance to live alone and share my home for my housemates. i think that living alone is more better. i can do whatever i want and do not care someone in my room.

I prefer to share a house to minimize the payment. But if I can afford it, I prefer to live alone.
