For me I found it important to live with other people in the first year, but I found it just as important to have somewhere that I enjoyed living (i.e. not a dump) even if it was a bit pricier because the end of the day the finances are fairly easy to manage as long as you're a sensible chick. So yeah, if private is your only option, go for one you'll like regardless of price - within reason ofc - and it should be easy enough to socialise and make friends from your course etc even if you're not in halls.

I’m just gonna have to try and cut my spends. Shouldn’t be hard as this chick just survives off cigs, brews and toast most days (altho I guess I will have to swap my gorgeous ciggies for roll ups
)
It’s really nice tbf, it’s a 20 minute walk from my university but I walk that to work most days so I’m not too fussed.
