Clothes and toiletries would be a good start. I HIGHLY recommend a banana hammock.

You will need the following things 1. Clothes (though you can buy more where you go) 2. Electronics: iPod, phone, computer, PSP, etc 3. Gifts...take 100 post cards or other little gifts, you can give them to lots of people, and if you don't meet lots of people you can throw them away. Anything else you can probably leave behind or pack in boxes to be sent over. Things like sports equipment etc.

You need to find a program and apply. Each program will have its own application deadlines. You want to be an exchange student during the spring semester of 2009. I think applying now should be okay, but do it soon.

Italy is a brilliant country to go to full stop

Hi! I'm italian! I think italy is a good place for tourists or students but I advice you to chase a place near the sea (it's almost all surrounded by sea, it's easy to find a seaside to stay!) I live in milan but I'd love to stay not so far from the sea (it's 1 hour and a half by car or train...) where are you from? and why would you like to go to italy?I'm not sure to have understood, "for an exchange" means that you'll go here and then an italian guy will come to your house? or it means only that you're coming here to study italian? I think you should chase if you prefer tu study german or italian, because they are very different languages!how old are you and what are you studying at school? for economy I know german it's a very important language, but if you wish to work in tourism it's better italian because here there are a lot of touristic places, a lot of art cities and seasides, think about sicily and sardinia or naples, venice, rome etc etc... but for other studies I don't know how you could learn italian for a particular reason... if you want more info about italy write a private message! (sorry if my english is not perfect!) Ciao! :-)

High school student exchange italy, france? what was it like?
High school student exchange italy, france? what was it like?
i live in canada and have good grades, i also know the company were going to do the exchange through (its a non profit organization called CEEF-ceef.ca) my guidance counselor said its a great idea, i can choose between italy, france, spain, mexico, belgium, the netherlands and germany. although you choose 4 countries on the entry for my choices go like this 1. italy 2. france 3. spain 4. belgium i speak french but you can go knowing very little of whatever language you speak in the country you choose. im just worried about 1 thing, first the person from the other country comes here and lives with me and my family for threemonths from mid-august to mid-november and then i go from mid-february to mid-may and i dont mind being away from my parents cause im used to that but im worried about having to be with this person in my home 24/7, no alone time with my best friends etc. can anyone tell me of their experience? advice? anything? Thanks a million!

I've hosted 12 exchange students now. The idea is NOT for them to "live in your pocket" while they are staying with you! You should introduce them around -- and maybe find someone else at school interested in introducing them around as well. Get them involved in some activities ... they need to make their own friends. However, you do need to make sure they are included in your major activities -- parties, social events, ball games, etc. However, you are not expected to have them go with you ALL the time either. Remember though, when YOU go on your exchange, that you need to make friends on your own as well! What goes around, comes around. You make this person feel welcome, they will make you feel welcome! For general info on being an exchange student, have a look at this website: http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/
