How can an I.B student in middle school study in Italy?

How can an I.B student in middle school study in Italy?
I am a 6th grade I.B (international baccalaureate) student . Even though the course is more advanced than other classes I still receive straight A's on my report card. ( i have been an A student for my whole life). I really want to study in another country .I would like to learn Italian over the summer and try to study there in the future. I know I won't be able to study there this year because of my family's financial situation.I told my mommy but she said that won't be able to happen . I decided to look it up . THEN i realized it would be SUPER EXPENSIVE!!!!! The MEAL plan ONLY was $1400 FOR 15 WEEKS!! PLUS i will need a student visa and a place to stay so we could just say it will add up to be expensive.I am not like those little rich kids who can get everything they want and i don't like to stress my parents (they already have enough of that).I just want to do this to further my education,go to a GREAT collage, become a pediatrician, make a positive change in the world (even if it is a small one),and make sure my parents are proud of me and live long enough to see me do that, and i would like to do this to to see Italy. How can I study in Italy at a low price ?

You could try getting a scholarship - many programs give financial aid.

Well once you get to high school, in your sophomore year you should look into applying to the United World Colleges programme. All American students of the program are paid for on full scholarship and are sent to one of 13 international schools one of which is in Duino, Italy. However they'll only accept applications from Sophomores and Juniors so just stick it out and study Italian until then.

What is the best health insurance plan for a student studying abroad?
My daughter is studying abroad in Rome this fall. She needs medical coverage for 3 months. Our health insurance policy does not cover her while in Italy. Any suggestions for a good student plan?

You bet. What you want is called Travel Medical Insurance. It does not matter what reason you have for traveling - study abroad is just as good as vacationing. You can learn about it by going to http://www.wavehelp.com/travel-medical/index.htm The column headed "Worldwide Health" and the one headed "Patriot Travel Medical" are where to look. You can buy online if you see something you like. Best wishes.

A friend and his wife just returned from three weeks in Italy. Your daughter is going to have a wonderful time. I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I do have a few thoughts: 1.Does her school in the States have a student health plan she can get and will it extend some sort of coverage in Italy? Does the program or school in Italy have insurance she can buy? These plans are probably the least expensive route since they will be group health plans, which are usually less expensive than individual health insurance. 2.Ask people at her school – especially people who have gone through the same study abroad program and find out what they did for insurance. It’ll be interesting anyway because it will give your daughter a better sense of what to expect apart from such practical matters. 3.Short-term insurance: It doesn’t offer the same range of benefits as longer-term insurance and typically lasts from a month to six months, although you can find short-term policies that last for a year. Short-term plans usually help pay for: hospital stay, ambulatory services, lab exams, x-rays, prescriptions. Short-term typically doesn’t cover dental care, preventive exams, pregnancy, and can be difficult to find when abroad, but plans do exist. 4.Travel Insurance: Probably won’t offer the range of benefits you’d like, but it is an option. 5.Local health insurance agents: Try MostChoice.com. It offers online quotes but more importantly puts you in touch with qualified health insurance agents. You fill out a short form, review online quotes, and within 48 hours local agents will contact you. Tell them what you want and what you want to pay and let them do the rest. There’s no cost or obligation to buy anything, and it’s an easy way to find out exactly what options are available to you and your daughter. You can visit MostChoice here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm Very envious of your daughter and her Italian excursion, Barnes@MostChoice

i don't know about any websites but you can check out the newspaper ads from NYC. usually the owners put their own ads for renting. but i am telling you, anywhere in nyc would be very costly to rent. make sure you have your financial backup planned. happy summer.
2 :
you need to be a little more realistic. rents, even for a roommate situation, are very high in Manhattan; especially in the area you want to live. why don't you consider an outer borough like Brooklyn, queens or the Bronx? they are close to the city and more affordable to you. good luck.

My friend, for get Little Italy. Better yet, forget the whole of Manhattan, becuase, unless you're a lawyer and a pocket full of cash to rent an apartment in Manhattan, then you're out of luck. Manhattan apartments are expensive. My advice, consider living in the outer borough, you'll get a better deal outside of Manhattan and still have a good commute into and out of Manhattan. But, what ever you do, don rent an apartment in Manhattan. Good luck Native New York

Look at Murray Hill or Alphabet City, the East 80's east of 2nd avenue, or the West 70's or 80's west of Amsterdam. If you aren't willing to pay a brokers fee try Craigslist, but you really take your chances. Citi-Habitats is a good broker for decent, reasonably priced apartments. There is nothing that will "help you pay for your apartment", and there are practically no apartments in Little Italy, which is a tiny area for tourists that mostly just consists of restaurants and souvenir shops and is not a real living Italian community. There is "NoLiTa", which is short for "NOrth of Little ITAly", if that's what you meant, but that is a trendy and expensive area.
