You can always move after university.
I am from London and was quite homesick during my first year, but when I went to Leeds I felt at home again.
Cities are cities.
You may have a preference for one over the other, but in general cities are busy, multicultural, with great places to eat and great places to go.
It doesn't sound like you are missing out: you've met lots of great people, you've lived in halls, you plan to live with friends next year and you are enjoying your independence.
University goes so quickly; enjoy it!
All the best,
