luxury dorms or if housing for freshman year?

Hi,
So in my research on uf housing, it seems as though some dorms have been recently renovated and overall, the bathroom sharing situation is less disgusting than I imagined. However, fact still remains that uf housing is more expensive than the 'luxury dorms near campus. I reserved a place at Windsor hall, the coed building (only space left available). Given that I applied for housing on campus a few days ago, what would you suggest for my freshman year? I am concerned about the social aspect of living off campus and missing events, opportunities to make friends etc., but I did see from student videos etc that windsor is much bigger and cheaper than most dorms on campus. And also, what’s it like getting to classes from Windsor? I am an engineering student. Anyone with personal experiences/ informed opinions, what do you suggest?

Thank you
