Where do you think would be the best place for me to live while I study in York?

I am hoping to begin studying at York St John's in September (just waiting for my offer). I finished my A Levels last year but essentially took a year out deciding what I want to do so I'll probably be a year older than most first years. I'm not exactly a party animal and much prefer my own company, but I also do enjoy going out sometimes, I'm just not exactly up for being social as much as most students if that makes sense lol. As much as I'd prefer to get a studio apartment, I doubt I could afford it and it'll probably be good for me to live with other people to sort of force me to socialise with other people I guess lol. Basically, my question is, are there any accommodation places that are a bit quieter but also fairly affordable? I'll be living almost entirely on my student loan (which I believe is the highest bracket so definitely doable) until I can find a part time job so I can't afford anywhere too expensive.
