I like living alone, but somethimes it would be great to share the flat with an other person I like. So you can have a nice talk in the evenings or cook together on weekends. Rent in Germany is becoming increasingly expensive. Sometimes you haven't a choice to share a flat.

Actually, I really prefer to live alone because i can do all what i want without someone to bother me, but also I do love to have someone in my house to share ideas, so in brief I like to live with someone who i love!

I prefer to live alone. It's not because I hate people, but I am not a talkative person, and I like to be in a calm environment.

I was studying in Germany for 5 years. I prefer to share a more ensuite bedroom house with my best friends, it makes me happy and do not feel alone and do not get homesick a lot.

Mainly I prefer to live alone. But when it comes to go to the town I like to go with friends so that we can discuss different ideas.

At the moment I prefer to share because I am in a foreign country.

I prefer to live only with my best friends, my sister and my family members only. otherwise, I prefer to live alone Because you don't know the other person with whom you are going to share a room, is what type. I like to be clean, organized, and hygiene. Because I already had an experience living with one girl who is unknown to me and that was a very bad experience she was a very dirty, disorganized and unhygienic type of person. so yeah I like to be alone instead of living with some unknown.
