Long story short /adv/, I just found a job, and I need to move to a different city and find a room there to rent. That said, I'm very nervous, since this is going to be the first time that I've done anything like this. Leaving the family nest, and all that.
I'm mainly concerned about having housemates. I'm 28, and I did live with about ~5 people during my time in college, in dorms. It was mostly fine, except for 1 guy during second year who cared very little about personal hygiene and stuff, and I just had to move the hell out of there. The rest of them were okay.
Anyway. I don't really feel like I want to live with anyone. I mean, it's not like I can afford renting a house by myself, but still. I feel like that time of my life - with people blasting loud music, watching tv in the background, sharing bathrooms, having to carefully tiptoe around not to bother anyone is over.
I also find silence very important and people being noisy in general fucking drives me up the wall. The other thing is, as I grew older, I guess I also grew more distrustful. Rooming with other students is one thing, but rooming with random people seems really scary.
On the other hand, I did like a lot of my roommies, and I did enjoy spending time with them. And living alone seems....lonely. And sad. A bit scary too.
What should I do?

Suck it up and live with roommates? You said it yourself, you can't afford to live on your own, so what choice do you have?

Not much. I guess I could go to work by bus, but that would mean a 2 hours long commuting session every single day. But I feel like that is inhumane.

You've cohabited with others and mostly liked it. Go do it again. Move in with your girlfriend instead, once applicable/available. Virtually nothing you can do will save you more money than sharing rent.
If you really, really don't want to do that, and can't afford to rent a house, rent an appartment instead. WTF do you even need a house for, if you live all alone.
If an appartment is also out of your price range, look for ever smaller appartments until finding one you can afford, or until you must conclude that having a roommate is literally your only choice. What kind of bullshit job did you get? You must be able to afford _something_ if its worth moving for.
Having roommates can be a huge advantage when first arriving in a new city, because they multiply your social contacts. I regret not having had some when I went to Uni.
