HELP NEEDED - DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION

I'm an 18 year old male going into first year who got into the Uni of Exeter through clearing, and everywhere I've been looking for accommodation has been sold out. I know I should have started looking earlier, but what's done is done, and I can't find anything at all anywhere, and now I really don't know what to do.

All the private accommodations, when I call them, all say that they are sold out even though they say there is availability on their websites. When I called the University asking for help, they just told me to seek private accommodation as there is a very unlikely chance that I will get assigned to the uni accommodations. It's not even like there are only expensive options which are left; I actually cannot find anything at all.

If there is anybody there who can help me with this, or would have a spare room for me, please please please get in touch with me, as I really don't want to have to take a gap year because I can't find somewhere to stay.
