No way known would she be able to afford it on her own in her current situation, let alone get a look in with the agents in the first place. Her best bet would be shared accommodation for sure. I was 19 when I first moved out of home and it was into share accommodation. I think it was good for me as opposed to being on my own right away because I was still able to have that independence, but it wasn't 100% my responsibility kwim? All the bills were shared so it made it more affordable and after 8 months I was ready to move out on my own and confident enough to handle all the bills myself etc.
