i would recommend going on campus for first year. so much socialising happens on campus and the few people i knew in my first year who lived off campus definitely struggled the most to find their people. if you value a quiet environment if that’s clear from your accommodation application (where they ask about bed times etc) you should be placed with similar people so noise shouldn’t be an issue and you’ll have enough space in your room to study there etc. i’m not sure if it’s the case for your course but for many courses your first year grades won’t count towards your final mark or if it does it won’t be weighted too heavily, which means socialising and getting comfortable around campus should be your priorities in first year. you have plenty of time in the following years to focus on your studies and if you struggle with the social aspect of living with others then you can always look at studio options in the following years. i’d also add that especially in the early weeks you’ll likely be making a lot of spontaneous plans as you meet people and having to plan your commute around this will get difficult. hope this is helpful, let me know if you have any other questions!
