Is it hard to get a student visa for Italy?
I'm from the US and I want to do all four years of University in Italy instead of the States. I guess I want adventure haha. I heard you need a Student Visa to Apply to any schools in Europe. How do i approach doing so. Should I visit the Embassy. I live in Baltimore about 45 min from D.C so its not inconvenient for me.

It's not so hard to get a student visa. You don't submit the request until you've been confirmed to be admitted for the entrance exams. It's certainly a lot easier than getting a work visa. The Italian government site for visas is here: http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp It will provide a link to the application form and tell you what supporting documentation you need. Basically, you'll need to prove that you can support yourself while here ( right now the requirement is showing resources of at least €350.57 per month of the academic year and have a declaration of lodgings. You apply at the consulate that has jusridiction over your area of the country. Inb your case, that's could be the embassy or maybe the consulate in Philadelphia. I had to go to Chicago from Denver for my work visa. Good luck!

Well, I'm not from Abruzzo, but I live in Modena, Italy :D normal school day? Okay :) I usually wake up at 6.40 am and then exit home at 7.30 to take the bus; we don't have school buses here, and everyone needs to get at school by common buses, or by bike, moped or car (in this case, parents usually have to take you to school, cause we can't drive a car till we're 18 :P). I stay at school from 8.00 to 1 pm and then I go home. Lessons are over, but you can stay at school in the afternoon if you want to join after-school activities such as the School Magazine or Drama.. these give you some credits ;) School lasts from the second week of September to the second one of June. Oh yes! There are some other differences :P - We don't need to stay at school to eat, so there's not a cafeteria :P but some schools have a cafè, a simple one, no tables.. just food and cans :P - Our classes are a lot different. Before we start our first high school year, someone defines some groups of people (usually around 26-30 kids), and there are gonna be our classes for the following 5 years. Usually nothing changes, unless someone's school year gets rejected (dunno how to translate it XD). This happens when your marks are too terrible, and you have to repeat all of your courses... - The class always stays in one room only. Teachers need to move around the building to get to class, not us!! :D We don't have lockers and always need to carry a rucksack with lots of books.... - School choice is COMPLETELY different :P We can choose between different types of schools; Classic Lyceum (with Latin and Ancient Greek, and just a few Maths), Scientific Lyceum (with Biology, Phisics, lots of Maths and no Greek [this is mine!! :D]), and high schools specialized in other subjects, like artistic or technical education, modern languages or education itself. Once you are in one of these schools, you must study ALL the subjects!! - We don't have a prom, or a school sports team, or cheerleaders, or... well, I think you got it :P Hope I've been helpful :D

I doubt it. I believe all the credits you get there will be transferred to where you live.
2 :
Talk to your counselor and your program because not all credits will transfer. Some countries it's harder to transfer credits from and it is different with every program and even every abroad school. It's different for every program/person so you should talk with those people about this before hand.

You as a US citizen can enter as a tourist Italy without a visa. Once your visa "kicks in" you have proof of lawful presence in Italy.
