london- is private accomodation worth it?

hello! ive been looking at different accomodation options for next year and was wondering if private is worth it. i will most likely be attending the courtauld institute and since it's a small uni, the only accom available for first-year students is about 20 mins away by public transportation. although i don't mind the distance that much, i still wanted to look into private which would be closer. the price is around the same for both.
i wanted to ask if social aspects of private is different than uni halls, or does it not matter? does anyone have any experience with different types of accomodation?
