definitly i think italy is beautiful from pictures
2 :
in a heartbeat! Italy is beautiful, as are the people, and there's nothing like living with a family to learn the language, etc. In fact, many, many years ago I spent a month in Italy trying to be an au pair - disastrous as I was trapped in an apt with two little ones while everyone else went out in the world - the roles should have been reversed - but Italy was terrific!

Check with your local pizza shops. Explain to them your situation. Find the best deal (lowest pizza cost), wherein you sell pizza (or coupons to redeem one), whereas the proceeds, or portion thereof goes toward the trip. Then tie the promotion up with a marketing approach. Ex. selling pizza for non-traditional events, such as Christmas pizza, Engagement pizza, Halloween pizza, etc. Send a free pizza to your local newspaper/tv station for free publicity. Approach some organizations that have large amounts of people, ask them to support you by buying your pizza (ex. real estate brokers, teachers meeting, churches, youth group, local auto dealers, policemen, firemen, hospital, etc.

My friend in high school used to by candybars and stuff like that in bulk (try one of those warehouse places like Costco or Sams Club) and sell them to people at school for a profit. I don't know how much he made, but if you start now you could certainly supplement whatever you make with a real job.
3 :
sell yourself for hard labor and also pick a corner and invest in a tight mini skirt... if your a guy, that should be interesting, lol I am kidding... just work your butt off and try to get involved in a fundraiser. If you have any family you could ask them to donate money to help get you there. Good luck

You are going to love Italy, the men there are beautiful, they very charming and try to help you a lot. Italians are very happy and funny, nothing is bad for them. Places to visit there, of course, VENICE,MILAN and if you are religious, go to the Vatican pay a visit, people say is beautiful, and it is other country too. In Rome, you can go to the Coliseum, Fontane de trevi, but they have a lots of tourist guides for the city, they can tell you tips, give you maps you are going to be very happy if your travel. Enjoy the school and the travel.

The Italians mostly wear shorts at resorts, usually not in large cities. Be very careful never to wear them in churches. Some churches have monitors outside and will not let people in unless properly clothed. At St. Peters, no shorts, plunging neck lines, bare shoulders or even very short skirts. You will be turned away. Outside of Rome, you less likely to encounter clothing police. As a matter of courtesy, dress appropriately in any religious building. This is appreciated by the locals. Women can get away with shorts some places, but men in shorts is frowned upon unless at a beach or in a resort setting. Fashion goes to extremes in Italy. It starts in the streets among teenagers and ends up on runways, or it starts on runways and within a week shows up in market stalls. Many Italians don't bother with fashion at all, but they almost all have style. They dress. They are saying something even if they don't know what and you can't get the message. Not very many Italians turn out in the morning and grab what is on top of the "clean dirties" pile. Instead, they have a usually small assortment of clothes that place them in their chosen group. It isn't casual, although the style may be casual. Since there are many ways of being stylish in Italy, you as a traveler probably ought not concern yourself with fashion, but instead, like an Italian, construct yourself with a little thought to your body type, your activity and what makes you feel attractive. No matter what you wear, if you are taking a bit of care about what you put on, there's a group of Italians who are wearing the same thing - from the wealthy wearing designer originals to the teenager wearing the latest off the market stall, Italian style covers it all. http://www.beauty-and-romance-of-sicily.com/info-on-sicily.html

See everything. It's a beautiful country, the people are great, the scenery and food will both knock you off your feet. Rome will take a few days to see, a day or two each can cover most of the other cities. Major tourist attractions can sell out months ahead of time, especially in the summer. You can't go wrong with the Veneto, though Venice will spare no effort to remind you it's in a swamp on a hot day. I've seen a fair amount of the north, and loved every bit of it. Milan is a day trip. You'll want to move to Cinque Terre permanently. Train travel is an excellent way to get around, and not too expensive. Explore the churches, especially in Rome. Walk or bike if possible if you're in the old centers of towns/cities. Have a great time. And listen to Jimmy on what to where, he's spot on.

They dress well, study, enjoy life. They will drink, but not to excess, and some will take mild drugs. They are normal people.

Well you should dress ok but there's not an official dress code. As for behaviour, just be polite and friendly. With Professors you have to be very formal, especially when writing letters or emails, call him "Gentile Prof. Rossi". There are a lot of things to do, you can go out for a walk, go to a pub, go to a pizzeria to eat, ice-cream, discos, almost everything. Italians are very friendly if you know how to talk to them. Get a Facebook account if you don't have one - Italian students really love Facebook and it is a good way to get in touch with someone. Don't pretend the same organisation you will find in the United Kingdom or in Germany, but some Italian Universities are really ok.
