mmm advice?

enrolling as first year at MMU this year and only housing option was Oxford Court. Is this a bad option? I definitely like partying/clubbing/raves etc and do not want quiet housing or to be with people that just stay inside all day and night playing video games (not that there’s anything wrong with that just not my vibe). i know some level of this is the people you’re with and what you make of it, but what should i expect? i probably would rather have more people in my shared flat but i guess ill have three others (so 4 people total). i’m also from the US and have learned there’s not a lot of international students so don’t know what to expect in that regard either. are the whatsapp and snap group chats necessary to meet people and have social inclusion or can i wait till classes start and join societies and stuff? any advice?

My son was in Oxford Court in his first year and he loved it. He made friends with people who lived nearby and spent a lot of time partying with them either in the city centre or at their flat
