Summary: 


I have lived in a co-op with 120 people (and cooked for it!),
in a co-op with 18 people, with two apartment mates, and
alone.  I have found that as I get busier and more
involved in my work, I prefer to live alone, simply
because living with someone to me means more responsibility
(something that I accept gladly)--if only to paying
my part of the rent on time and not letting the cheese
in the fridge become a science project.

Nevertheless, I do like the feeling that comes with
*having someone there* to come home to.  It was
perfect in a co-op--the people were always there when
I wanted company, and I could retire to my room
when I wanted privacy.  Of course, when you live in
that kind of situation you get more running commentary
on who you're bringing home with you. . .:-)

I think Peter B has found the best parts of co-op
living in his arrangement.

Cheers,
Pooh
