    En suite is probably more sociable, as you'd have a shared kitchen, whereas with a studio, you would be less likely to see your flat mates much.

    You'd be on your own if you were in a studio, no flatmates. I'd go en-suite if you don't want to do shared bathroom, never studio.

    A studio would be better if it's very important to you that you have total control over your own space and if you are prepared to be very proactive about making friends (there will be nobody there to talk to when you get home; you'll have to go out and find people) But if both of these don't apply, then probably an en suite will be better as it will be easier to make friends and almost certainly cheaper
