100% live in student accomodation. Make some friends and move to a private rental in 2nd year.
I've done both and didn't last 6 months my first time at University, because I lived at home and it frankly wasn't even vaguely the same experience
at all. 2nd time round I did Uni halls in first year and then a shared house with people I met in halls. Loved every minute tbh.
The living arrangement anyway. I more or less stopped going to classes half way through 3rd year
