oh dorms! They're awful! Especially roommates! Do prepare for a non student flat. Once you do you'll enjoy it so much, you'll wonder why you lived ever lived in a dorm.
American and British English are two separate languages! I was translating your British(?) English into my American, for my convenience.
I'm sure that you'll be able to deal with finding a flat. I've seen books on how to find and rent your first flat.
Very Important! Get what we call Renter's Insurance. So that if your flat burns down or gets burgled or something your insurance will enable you to replace your stuff.
If you can, get a lease you're considering analyzed/translated into plain English for you. I don't know how works over there but here in the 'States pre-professional student clubs (Accounting, Law) run low cost clinics as a way of getting experience in their field before leaving school.
Anyway, that's all for the future! Good Luck! If you ever want across the pond advice or a person to rant to I'd be delighted to chat/email/irc/whatever.
