I think what migt be helpful is suggesting things to take to uni for those who are staying at home..maybe?

Pfft, what do they know? I think 99% of my group of friends commute. We have slowly started to get flats and things but in the first and second year we all stayed at home, and half of us are still there. I know people who have over an hour commute and they're perfectly happy.

There will always be local people, or those who already have their own flats. There's no real way to pick them out though. If you are staying at home all you need to take to uni is some notebooks, pens, etc and a bag to carry them in.

Another bit of advice:

- People drift apart, especially if you aren't in the same classes. After freshers' you might be able to know a few people by face and name but not really have a bond with them. If you keep talking to people then you should eventually make some close bonds with people.
