I prefer living alone, because i feel more comfortable living alone without violating my privacy, and that gives me much time to accomplish many tasks.
Although I like living alone, I can't effort bills and other expensive thing. I am also a little afraid of anything when I am alone. And having a roommate is kind of a friend. In short, I would prefer to share .
Shared houses are common these days. To decrease the bills and rent expenditure, individuals live in shared houses nowadays. Although living alone is better than living together, sharing the bills and rent is a good choice when people don't make enough money.
i just want to share my room with my friend only. i dont want to share with the strangers.Living with friend in the same room is more happier for me
I am an extrovert. So living alone is not works for me. I am willing to share my house and preferred to stay shared accommodation.
I prefer sharing a house with person who is get along. Living alone some times may be tedious.
I really prefer living alone in a big house. It gives me free time to do everything I want. Sometimes we have to live with other people if we move to another country.
Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?
I prefer to live alone. Staying with the housemates have many advantages and disadvantages. If I get well-paid job, I will stay alone.
I absolutely prefer live alone in flat because I can do everything what I want. I lived alone by 2 years and I appreciated it very much, but now I live with my wife and it's nice too :)
i will move three months later. I am searching some renting apartment or sharing house. This notice board message is useful for me. LOL. thx for sharing
Oh! I really prefer to live alone and have all my house for myself with no strangers and no surprises in the house.
I am being with my housemate. She is kind and funny. Sometimes I don't be comfortable with lots of things. But I might improve it. Otherwise, I still like to live alone. In the future, I will rent a room that I enjoy my life.

I prefer live alone
I want to live alone not share with another people. Because when having the housemate, she/he is not suite with me
I don’t like sharing my room to anyone.
Although i prefer to live alone, currently I live with my roommate because we are far away from our family and relative. in the future, I will rent a house where I can enjoy from my life.
I prefer share my home but my tenant should be quiet, calm and alone.I don't want to hear much loud at my home. My home is peaceful and comfortable place for me.
I prefer to live alone. But in my student years I used to share a room or a flat and found it also nice.
A single room (not ensuite) in a student dormitory. Available 1 January. Shared kitchen and bathroom with a female flatmate. 200 euros including bills.
I prefer to live alone now but I know when I become a student I would want to live with housemate because when I go to study at university in big town I dont want to be alone. Now I live in little town and alone or with somebody does not matter.
I'm currently living with my family so I prefer to share a house more. When you live with other people, you won't feel lonely and they can help you do many things.
Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?
It's better based on situation to choose live in shared apartment or live alone. Many students and bachelor employee prefer to live in a shared house to save money and decrease their costs. Living in shared house has many advantages such as making friends and living developing better understanding of the world and it's a way to appreciate other cultures. But in shared house sometimes you can't control all environments condition such as temperature and light, you should sleep on time and respect other rules.
I lived alone for a long time. Also, I shared my room with my friends in the university. I feel more comfortable when I live alone.
For me, I prefer to live alone for mere privacy.
I prefer to live alone as I do now, since I grew up as the only girl in the house and there was a significant age difference between me and my brothers so I'm used to be self dependent and have my own space. So yes privacy, peacefulness and being able to have control over my own living space is very important and crucial to me. But on the other hand, if I found someone that is hygienic, respectful and we have some common interests and preferences, then I don't mind to share a house with him/her and try that out.
If I have a house, i will share room with my friends because my friends is funny and help me to learn new things
I prefer living alone.I think it will be a new experience for me because I have never shared a room in my life. I like to try 1 or 2 months first. It will be a real challenge for me. I can't stand the light while I am sleeping . If my roomate is a night person, I will have nightmare. Furthermore, being a introvert, living with a stranger will be my most difficult task. But I would like to try and overcome my fears.
I prefer to live alone but only 2 times a week :)
I prefer live alone ! It is not easy share a house. A young person may like it, but over time we like privacy.
I prefer to living alone because I love peaceful and I happy to can do anything freely without caring anypeople or person who live with.
both live alone and share room have two sides. the good side of sharing room include: you have roomate to share everething, you can help, study, play video game, excercise together. but you no have private space. sometimes you can have conflictions.
I never shared a house with others besides my family. I need my privacy and I like the things clean and organised. So if in the future it will be an option, I would like to share with someone who have the same preference as me.
I don't like to share my house or even room with any housemate because a lot of them don't respect your privacy many of them don't respect your time if you need to take a rest or sleep
I do prefer living alone. I have only one experience renting a single room in a 2-bedroom house with 2 housemates, but there was only one there. He never left the toilet clean and was always dirty as f, and because of that I made up my mind next time I gotta get a flat or sth It would be a single one. But I'm always open, as long as the roomies be hygienic and worries about having clear the house without having telling them so (which is uncomfortable and weird).
I prefer to share a house. There are several reasons to support my opinion. First, I can save much money. For example, when I live with housemates, we can share electricity, water, gas bills and so on. Second, I dont feel lonely and can ask for their help when I have problems. I think this is so nice.
I'd rather prefer living alone in my nest than live with someone I don't like...
for me i prefer live alone because i can avoid conflicts with my roommates
