Is there a way for someone to study in Italy or Sicily as a regular student if their citizenship is American?
Just curious cause I heard you can do that in France if you speak the language if you speak Italian shouldn't you be able to also? Is there a way for an american to gain citizenship there or be able to stay there for a long time in Sicily?

You should contact some students organization or something.

There are many foreign students studying here - some in Italian and others in classes provided in other languages. Italy has many fine universities. Many US schools have programs which include a year or a semester studying abroad. You don't have to have citizenship to reside here, but you do need a visa. Citizenship takes a long time. There's information on visas here - http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp. You'll want to check into one of the Study Visas. The site provides information on what's required, links to application forms, and addresses of the Consulates.

i got one too! i was about to ask this question, i really want to know! i just looked, it's $6,499 plus $295 for delegate protection. ughh i can't go.

i went on a trip last year with people to people to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. it was the best time of my life! i met sooo many amazing kids and learned sooo much! it's not like school or anything, you pretty much go to a bunch of places and learn about the cultures. you may have a silly little quiz every now and then; but you can't fail. they also give you a high school credit once you have completed the program. also, you were sent that letter because you were either nominated by a teacher or a student in your school that has been on a trip with them the previous year. They don't send it out to everybody....even if you don't have the best grades. yes, it is expensive. most trips range from $4,500-$8,000 (most around the $6,500 area). although, you can pay by month (about $900 per month) or choose any other type of billing plan that you want. people to people also offers fundraising programs. i know a girl that was in my group who raised every single cent for her trip! also, EVERYTHING is included in the price. hotels, 3 meals a day, attractions, transportation, airline tickets, etc are all included. The only thing that you will need to bring money for are souvenirs. Misc. Info: -most trips last about 20 days (i think most trips to asia are about 14). -you go with a "delegation" which is made up of about 40 kids from your area as well as 4 "leaders" who are teachers from your area. -if you are in high school, you have a homestay...where you live with a family in the country that you are visiting for 2 or 3 days. -you have to go through a process in order to be accepted (3 letters of recommendation by teachers/adults and an interview) although, they accept pretty much everyone -you have monthly meetings with your delegation before you leave to get to meet the kids and leaders -IT WILL BE THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFEEEE! the letter you received is probably talking about a local information meeting. it probably says that you have to reserve a spot at the meeting. go on the website that they give you and reserve one! once you go to your information meeting you will learn pretty much everything about the program and meet your leaders. then you get all the application process info. don't worry about the application process because they accept pretty much everyone :] The only CONS that I can think about is the first day of your trip, you are awake for over 24 hours because you have a midnight flight and have to do stuff the entire day that ur flight arrives. Also, some kids didn't have the best homestay families and thought it was hard to communicate with them. Another con that i can think about is that you may not have the nicest leaders...on my trip i liked 3 of them but hated 1 guy. honestly, think about girl scouts when thinking about people to people. most people think its all about your trip....but really, the program starts wayyyy bfore the trip. for example, you will have monthly meetings to study/meet the people in your delegation and even have social events such as bowling! most of the kids that go on a people to people trip are really nice, smart (not genius smart...but usually honor students) and mature. you will meet such good friends!! Overall, you would NOT be wasting your time. You get a high school cedit, go to different countries, and make SOOO many amazing friendships! It really changed the way i saw the world and made me more independent.

Cheapest tickets to Italy from Hawaii. Student?
Cheapest tickets to Italy from Hawaii. Student?
I'm a college student in Hawaii and I'm trying to find the cheapest way to go to Italy. I would like to go in December/January. Anytime around there is fine. STAtravel isn't that cheap. Only $150 less than the other websites. Is it cheaper if I fly to the US first, so that I'm still within the US and maybe there's some discount that way? THEN when I'm closer, fly to Rome or something? Any ideas are appreciated.

try priceline. you can name your owm price.

I am going to give you the only piece of advice that was given to me for finding cheap travel deals, and it works to this day... Compare as many travel websites as you can as often as you can. Since you have a few months, start searching today and search the flights or hotels or whatever you need every week until the month before you are going. If anything is unusually cheaper, book it on that date. I would definitely recommend checking out the website BookMe. You can compare ALL the reputable travel sites from one location, and save tons of money. Good luck and check out the link below, and you will be all set.
