Student in Italy or Ireland
I am planning on engaging in a foreign exchange program within the next couple of years. The two countries that I am torn between are Italy or Ireland. Im mostly interested in living in a chillier environment but of course that all depends on what time of year I go. Italy offers a chance to learn a new language and that is a big pro because I am very interested in learning a new language. What country in Europe would you most recommend for an american student to go to as a foreign exchange student? Either Italy or Ireland -- or another country that you think would be a better choice?

Italians make the best food and learn Italian makes u sound like a mobster

Obviously Italy will be better place to learn language and pursue your professional or academic program. As we all know Italy has contributed a lot in preparation & presentation of food, fashion designing, art, culture, music, cosmetics etc. Best wishes.

I would strongly suggest studying abroad in Italy. The chance to learn a new language and practice it on a daily basis is very rewarding. You'll be shocked by the new confidence and independence you gain when you find yourself navigating the country without a word of English. And of course, you'll still have access to Europe's excellent public transportation to travel to Ireland. I love Ireland as a travel destination but wouldn't give up the chance to learn a foreign language.

If you're at all interested in learning a new language, then the choice is clear -- go to Italy. You'd already be in Europe so you would be able to easily travel to Ireland during school breaks. You probably will want to take your courses in English, while taking an intensive Italian class so that you could take advantage of being surrounded by the Italian language. You could browse here for programs in Italy that suit what you want to study and the time of the year you'd like to go: http://www.studyabroaddirectory.com/search.cfm. You'll find plenty of options there for programs that offer courses taught in English. Have a great time abroad! You won't regret it!

If I was going to Italy, I would pick Rome first because of the ancient ruins like the forum and the coliseum and Cremona which is the home of the most famous violin makers.
2 :
Rome (Roma in Italian) - ancient Rome (forum, coliseum, Palatine Hill); the Vatican (fabulous art work in the museum, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter Basilica); more modern Rome - Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, restaurants, shopping. Florence (Firenze in Italian) - outdoor shopping for leather goods, statue of David, cathedral, bridge over the river Pisa - the leaning tower, also a cathedral and baptistry in the same plaza made of the same white marble Venice - the canals, San Marco, the water taxis and gondolas Milan (Milano in Italian) - center of the fashion world, La Scala Opera Sicily - (Sicilia in Italian) Mt Etna, Phonecian ruins Sienna - medieval walled city Assisi - where St Francis lived Naples (Napoli in Italian) - origin of pizza Cinque Terre - five fishing villages on the coastal mountain connected by paths Sardinia - an island of Catalan (form of Spanish) speakers

I'm Italian, so I can tell you something about Italy. Rome is one of the most wonderful cities of the world, it's full of history (Colosseum, Fori Imperiali, St Peter's Square), and every single part of Italy has gorgeous places. The most important ones are Pisa (with its famous Leaning Tower), Venice (a city on the water, you can visit it on a "gondola"), Naples, pizza's birthplace, where you can eat a fabolous pastry called "Sfogliatella".

I'm going to be an exchange student... anyone have experience from Italy?
I'm going my sophomore year, and my first choice is Italy, but otherwise, Japan, or Brazil. Anyone have experience in any of those countries, or any other exchange students, on the exchange? Oh yes, and I'm from the united states.

I'm from Brazil. I have never been an exchange student here because I live here. Your question is very broad. Make me specific questions about Brazil and I'll answer.
