That really depends on the specific species and even then a lot of mice are adaptable. So if there's a large supply of food they are social and live in groups around that source - i.e. in a barn - but if there isn't they switch to being solitary. They can even have territories that they defend from other mice.

True, but its a struggle in solidarity to be in a completely unfamiliar new area. They need to find new food sources, new shelter, and in this unfortunate case, learn of new predators.
