Should I be a foreign exchange student at Spain or Italy?
I can't decide. I already know Spanish, btw. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

THey are both awesome and I definitely recommend doing either, but learning spanish could help in the future and you can always visit Italy by train it isnt too far nor too expensive.
2 :
Italy

i guess it would depend on what studies you're planning to take and why you should go to either spain or italy. both are beautiful countries btw, so much life and culture in them but you have to ask yourself what academics course is best and what country has the best university that program can offer you. besides, if anything, barcelona to milan (or milan to barcelona) is only a train ride away! :) good luck

well just so you know, spanish isnt the official language of spain. its Castilian which is generally percieved as spanish. but since you know spanish, then go to italy cause learning italian is a heck of a lot easier with your background of spanish
5 :
If you already know Spanish you should take advantage of the opportunity and learn another language. So I say Italy. Which program are you going with? Here's a great exchange student forum you should join, http://www.cultures-shocked.org/Joomla/forum/index.php?

What program would you suggest for a student who wants to study abroad in Italy?
What program would you suggest for a student who wants to study abroad in Italy?
First off, I am currently Going into 8th grade. When I'm a sophomore or junior, I really want to study abroad in Italy. I want to start saving now. If you or a child or someone has studied abroad, which program did you use? I would really like to know. What was the experience like? What was the average cost? I want to go to for a semester. Or how long would you suggest? What ever advice you may have will be appreciated..thanks!

I went when I was 19 and I did a semester in Oxford, England. I wanted to go through my university, but to go to Italy, France (or any country where English wasn't the main language), you had to be a junior or senior, and have 2 years of the language (college), unless you can prove that you are fluent, and you had to do an entire year. I could have stayed for a year, but it was expensive as hell. I wanted to go to Italy too. Any way, I didn't want to wait til I was a junior, so I started to check out community colleges. They offer semester programs and summer/winter shorter programs. When I went, the program was about 6 grand. But, I recently looked it up, and it was about 7,500. But, once I got there, I spent about 2 grand more. I went to Paris, Dublin, and Amsterdam. But, I can honestly say, it was the best time of my life, and the best money I've ever spent. I'd tell you more, but then this will turn into a 5 page essay, lol. You can hit me up. But, just to get started, look up you local community colleges. Each school offers different countries to study abroad in. Italy is a very popular study abroad location, so you should have no problem finding a program. They usually have the current year program online, so you can read it and get info. Also, some community colleges don't even require you to be a regular student at the school. You can go to the school specifically for the study abroad. Good luck.

I want to be a foreign exchange student to Sardinia, Italy.?
I want to be a foreign exchange student to Sardinia, Italy.?
I live in the Washington State and I want to know all the steps to becoming a foreign exchange student. I can't pay and would have to rely on grants and scholarships. I can probably pay for my passport and airfare tickets. Immunizations and etc.

i live in Sardinia! contact the two universities of sardinia, they have foreign exchange projects, the most important is the ERASMUS project, but unfortunately it is only for european union citizens University of Sassari: http://www.uniss.it/php/proiettoreTesti.php?cat=476&xml=/xml/testi/testi13301.xml university of cagliari: http://www.unica.it/pub/english/ there aren't flights from washington state to sardinia, you should reach principal airports in europe, like london, paris, madrid, rome, milan, munich, berlin, barcelona, frankfurt, and there take a flight to sardinia, there are many low cost flights from main european cities to sardinia. intercontinental flights are very expansive, Immunizations ???? ahahah where do you think is located Sardinia? in subsaharian africa??? it's part of european union, probably health safer than the place where do u live, infact sardinia is free from many infectious diseases, as rabies !

Immunizations??? ;-) so funny! ;-) Anyway if you are not European you must have a visa to go there, you may ask the university you want to go for any international program, University in Italy is very cheap compare to the usa.

Becoming a foreign exchange student to Italy, IB program?
Becoming a foreign exchange student to Italy, IB program?
so I am interested in going to Italy for a semester either my 2nd semester junior year or 1st semester senior year. I am also signed up to be in the International Baccalaureate Program (aka. IB) This should be okay because it IS INTERNATIONAL! however my school guidance counselor/exchange student adviser hasnt done an exchange in 10 years and also never done one through IB. Any advise? I have to do a lot of the research myself it seems :/

I'm in the same situation, except I'm going to Germany and for a year. You won't be able to do IB, because some classes require 2 years for one class, and you wouldn't able to continue your IB studies even if it's a one year class because they don't have IB schools overseas. I suggest you just take AP classes, and forget about IB if you plan to do foreign exchange. (:

Hi there. I'm doing IB too. You should be okay if its only for a semester. If you are going to another IB school, I'm sure you won't have too many problems. The only issue will be with your assessment - check when your majoy assessment would be taking place (Group 4 Project, EE, TOK, and various IAs). Aim to go away when there a none of these, or only one. You can't miss these. Try an contact some people from the school you would be attending to see what programmes they have, etc. Otherwise, the responsibility would be totally on you to make sure you are learning everything you need to. It is runs differently from AP, and is definitely a better curriculum - stick with it! Just ask around, do your research, and I'm sure you will find a way to do both. Good luck, and I'll see you at the other end!! Good luck on your application and exams!!
