Living alone

Roommates

Pick one

Pretty sure they're saying it's their first time away from family. That's a common expression where I'm from meaning you're no longer in your family home / unsupported.

I feel like more and more people are "living alone with roommates" well into their 30s. Affording an apartment on your own is pretty well impossible, at least where I live. People staying with abusive toxic partners because at least living together they have a roof over their heads.

Shared kitchen but individual bathrooms? So something in between maybe?

Possibly. I have a private bathroom but share a kitchen and I would never say I live alone though.
