If you don't have a choice, or you don't know anyone you want to live with - then go ahead and live by yourself.
But if there is someone compatible, don't live alone. Compatible means someone who is a good complement to your personality and living style. You can always have privacy by retreating to your own room when necessary, and a truly compatible person would never bring in noisy guests in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep.
If you meet someone (or a group of people) who is compatible, then move in together and give it a shot. Should it not work out, it's generally quite easy to move out by yourself, in fact it's probably the easiest living arrangement to make. The potential gains from living with people on the same frequency as you are, however, huge.
