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!

I prefer live alone, that is comfortable for me.

Quite excited

I am living with a roommate now, it is okay for me cause we are staying like sisters, cooking and eating together. I think it would inconvenience if my roommate changed.

Of course, i prefer living alone, but if that a person is nice, do not mined.

I have never shared a house but I think that can be nice if it is with the right people. You can socialize with your housemates and share the housework and you can have your own privacy in your bedroom.

I prefer to live alone, because of my privacy.
