Question

Contrast between living with parents, living alone and living with roommates

Answer 1

With parents you are not alone and with people you love and chances are have free room and board. However privacy and independence may become contraindicative.

Living alone you can kiss goodbye to room and board, however you have a personal and free life.

Living with a room is the half and half, you are somewhat free and private and you don't go it alone while paying room and board.
