Well, in the living alone/together discussion I would much rather live
by myself than with other people with the exception that I'd like to
try living with an SO sometimes.

Why?  I can't stand living in a situation where I am surrounded by 
clowns.  Not once did a selection process work in choosing roommates/
flatmates for my dorm (1st year undergrad I went through three, one
left after one day (He had a space in a selective dorm he was wait
listed for), one joined a friend when his roommate moved out, and one
lasted until the end of the year;he smoked, I am allergic to smoke,
etc.  At grad school I was matched with 5 other grad students in a
flat, one hated Americans and liked waking me up at 3AM by trying to
break my door down, the others were pretty non descript except that
three smoked and none knew how to clean dishes.)  Even if you interview
people, you have no idea of what you are getting.  So I intend to
live alone.
