Good Luck where ever you end up. There are pro's and cons of living with some-one else and being alone. Sometimes being alone is so lonely and is not good when I am in my head too much. On the other hand it can be so good to come home and know it's you own space and that you don't have to deal with another person and their issues too. It would be easier financially to share. Wonder if you mum would allow you to get a pet?
