It would be difficult to have it both ways.

Uni parties are a big part of university culture, that's a lot of people's sole reason to go. But not everyone is up to partying all night. I can party at most 6 hours at a time and I need breaks every 2 hours. Get sound reduction fitted (if possible) onto the walls of your room or get noise-canceling headphones and play tunes, an audio book, or anything you like. Go to bed ASAP to avoid most of the carnage.

You absolutely will make friends! My housemate is a Muslim and we are in a fairly large friendship group! Plus there’s globe cafe (where you can meet people from round the world) and societies where you can meet people. There’s also the res x common room (can’t remember what the specific rooms called) that is open 6-10pm every day and has crafts and movies and stuff where you can meet people! I didn’t get the choice between types of accomodation because of my term dates and whilst some can be bad generally it’ll only be a few nights over the heat that are really noisy after the first few weeks it settles. No one threw up in the corridor
Edit- I realise that I didn’t soecify that I am at Nottingham uni!

There's the islamic society here that does a bunch of events weekly, mostly deen-related activities. For more social activities, there are literally hundreds of uni societies here for sports/cultural/etc such as Arab soc, although I don't know your ethnicity, that don't do night outs or party nights, at least not all the time. You'll definitely find your people here so don't worry about that

Hi there,
I would say don't worry too much about making friends as there are lots of other ways to make friends which is not centered around drinking and partying. For example you will meet people and make new friends though your course as well as through joining a sports or society with people who have similar interests to you. I felt much the same coming to University as I don't really drink and thought that I wouldn't make friends due to that but it is very different to what I expected as lots of people don't drink or if they do its not all the time.
I would suggest choosing an accommodation and living somewhere where you will feel the most comfortable, I would also say that not all quiet accommodation are really untalkative and boring but can be a mixture of both quiet occasionally more noisy/chatty.
I hope this helps 😊

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatallah wa barakatu sister. I was in the same position as you earlier this year before I took my sabbatical from university and I also live in a big party city so it's all about night life here. This is what I done to mitigate it:
•
I joined the islamic society early and made some friends on the islamic society: they usually separate brothers and sisters but you still get to have fun with the sisters as they have events and activites for you to do.
•
Start talking to the islamic society a lot earlier and see if you can join their sisters group chat: joining the sisters group will be good as they usually advertise accoms and student houses and these accoms are usually muslim-friendly and the student houses are likely to be primarily sisters only or even better, you can talk to some of the sisters already studying there if they're going to move into a shared space together (e.g. a flat)
Trust in Allah sister and believe me when I say you will make friends in university, don't limit yourself to the people in your accommodation and don't limit your accommodation choices. You'll be completely fine inshallah.
Allah yisa3dik.
