20 year old Australian exchange student, studying at UCM

I am a 20 year old university student from Melbourne Australia. I am enrolled to study at Universidad Complutense de Madrid, from early Sep to the end of January and am looking for a place to live beginning in around mid August, but i'll be in the city earlier and would love to visit the location before hand to decide if its suitable! Ideally, sharing a place with outher students would be my preference, to ensure we are all respectful of each others work committments in terms of noise levels and activities around the place. 

Thanks! Sasha
