URGENT! Can I go to Italy study abroad without a student visa?
I received my U.S. citizenship late and therefore the Italian consulate gave me the 14th as appointment date, and I must leave by the 12th. 1. What are the chances if I just go straight to the consulate and ask them to do a student visa quickly for me because of the emergency 2. Can i go there without a visa, i think they let U.S. citizens stay there for 3 months without a visa. and I can come back during those 3 months to get my visa signed, or not. WILL this way work???

You can certainly go to Italy as a visitor from the US without a visa. However, I recommend though that you call the university right now and ask for advice as the Italians are entitled to refuse you a student visa if they see your study start date is before your application date and that your passport is stamped as having entered as a visitor. Generally countries work on a reciprocity basis. As the US enforces a 'no entry without the correct visa' policy on Italians, they are perfectly entitled to do the same to you. It's called 'the law of unintended consequences'. Amazing how that works.
