Is it correct to say:

One of the people in my class is an international student
Two of the people in my class are international students
None of the people in my class is an international student - you will also hear "None ... are international students."
No people like to live alone - not natural. No one likes.
Hardly any people like to live alone
Very few of the people I know like to live alone

.

Hardly any people like to live alone

That's fine, but I think it's more natural as : Hardly anybody/anyone likes to live alone.
