Living alone has a number of advantages. One enjoys a lot of freedom, does not have to stick to a routine of getting home at a particular time and can invite friends over without having anyone disturb him or her and his or her guests. Loneliness is the biggest disadvantage of living alone. A person tends to spend more money on food and utility bills when he or she lives alone and has to clean up the house by himself or herself, with nobody to help.

lol Actually i like live alone u know. I can do anything i like and i wont be interrupted by others. However,the sad thing is i have to stay with my dormates since the university is far away from my hometown and my parents didnt allow me to rent a house near the school. Okay, the disadvantage is sometimes u maynot find someone to chat about when u are feeling blue or u want to share some news with.

i have tried living alone for 2 years, and i learned a lot from the experience.. i learned to cook my own meal, do the laundry and other basic household chores.. being independent is fun.. you can do whatever you want without being reprimanded.. BUT they say "No man is an island".. there are really times that you need the company of your friends.. you can live alone but at least don't isolate yourself to the world.. life is fun.. and we all deserve it.. :)

I can wake up whenever I need to, and I don't have to feel guilty about enjoying myself.

Man is a social creature, he cannot live alone (i mean isolated from the rest of the world ) If someone does it he will lose a lot of qualities: * the capacity of communicating with others * the ability of sharing things or senses with another person * the confidence in people ... i think there is no advantage for living alone (as Robinson did) :D, but don't confuse it with the life in the countryside (that i'd rather living in) just away from the towns or cities but keeping contact with world.
