Safe height to go around?

Upon being forced to commit a go around on my previous solo flight (still had to pay the landing fee) I was wondering if I should have gone earlier. PA-28 on the runway, and ATC told me to continue my approach at 500 feet. The PA-28 was vacating at the very end of the runway. Really, I should have gone around at an earlier point, but I hesitated, ignorant to the fact that aircraft were not vacating on the "middle" taxiway. I ended up going around at 300 Feet.

A combination of a busy circuit, and an A320 on the ILS meant it all got a bit hectic in the circuit!

Decided to call it a full stop after that.

A very testing flight!
