American student (woman) looking to live near Uni of Padua

I am an American high school graduate. I begin my university studies at Padua this September and would like to live as close to the university as possible. I don't mind sharing with another woman in a similar situation. I am clean, organized, and friendly. I have no pets with me. For the first few days I may be accompanied by a friend and it would be nice if the friend can stay with me but it is not a big deal if she can't.

Thanks.
