Since I no longer am anywhere near your age group. I think, Barong, Dewi Sri, AP Inn, Masa Inn, may fit your needs. Wherever you stay if you head to the beach at sunset, maybe out front of Inna Kuta Hotel you will find plenty of people of all ages and nationalities enjoying a sundowner or 3 at the beach eskies. You would be unlucky not to find a few people to head on out with. Also if you are happy with basic backpacker accommodation but with your own bathroom google Poppies 1 (that is a street name) and there are many tiny hotels (Often called Losmen) which are filled with young backpackers and surfies. Also in Gang Sorga which is off Poppies 1.
Have a great time.
