I am a college student going to Italy(Rome, Florence) for spring break, what should I pack?
I have absolutely NO idea what to pack. Jeans? Cute Tops? I know not to wear shorts. What shoes should I take(I will be doing a lot of walking)? Is it really offensive to wear dresses that are above the knee(the only kind I have)? I am so lost and in need of desperate help! :( I would also really love if someone that lives in Italy, or Europe or knows a lot about the dress code there, would give me their email so I can ask them a couple more questions! :) Thanks so much! :) ALSO: I straighten my hair everyday. I am very tempted to bring my Chi and some power adapters but I hear that fries and destroys your Chi. What should I do about that?

Don't worry, it's not offensive to wear tops or dresses that are above the knee (in Italy are called "Pinocchietti" ). The Italian girls to dress themselves take example from the American style they see on TV and then you can take what you have in your wardrobe. However jackets, boots, classic shoes, heels. In many clubs, however, don't accept the sneakers. At half page you can see an example: http://freefashion.forumfree.it/?t=25244676

I agree with the above poster. You're absolutely fine wearing short dresses and shorts if you want to (apart from if you are visiting the Vatican where you will have to at least cover your shoulders). Just bring whatever shoes you're comfortable with. I'm not sure when Spring Break is as I'm from the UK and we don't have spring break here but I'm guessing it's around March - April time? Although it won't be as hot as the summer months it will probably still be quite warm so just bear that in mind, especially if you will be doing a lot of walking. Have fun. Italy is beautiful :)

Italian high school students get a very helpful great sex education class. While some US high school don't teach kids about safe sex. At the end in US we end up with a lot of 17 year old girls pregnant. (Statistically) Sara Palin's 17 year old is an example of why sex education instead of religious bigotry is the best way to go!

Italian High Schools usually doesn't teach sex education (unluckily), in fact Italy is one of the most ignorant european countries about sex education... Probably it is Vatican's fault and of its political interference ... --- I don't know how american school are so I can't be useful, but if you ask me something of more specific, I'll try to answer...

Can I get my nose pierced in Italy if I'm under 18 and don't have parents permission?
I want to get my nose pierced in Italy. I am a foreign exchange student and am 15 years old. I want to get it done in April a month before my 16th birthday. My parents in the states are against it, but I don't care. Can I do it? Is there a rule in Italy for piercings?

dont get your nosed pierced you will regret it later

go to a piercing shop, maybe they'll believe that you are 16. or whatever the legal age is there to get a piercing without a parent. or you can go with a "guardian angel" somebody who is older, and can say you can get it pierced. or somebody who looks older. that's how it works where im from, but you only have to be 15 to get a piercing without parents, :\ goodluck! btw, it hurts so bad after it's piereced, the slightest bump makes your eyes water
3 :
if you like , you can attach some decoration on your nose before getting your nose pierced . hoping you will not regret for your impulsive . :P

I AM ITALIAN. You can do your piercing whenever you want, we don't care about the age, but absolutely you can not do without you parents' permission, unless you are 18 years old or more.

How fast is a student italian visa processed at the Chicago consulate?
How fast is a student italian visa processed at the Chicago consulate?
Today (July 7) I have completed most of my student visa application to study abroad in Italy. I am hopefully mailing it to the Chicago consulate tomorrow. My departure date is August 18. I'm a little worried now, and am unsure on the turnaround for getting my passport and visa back. Any insight on how long the processing takes? Do you think I'm OK? Can anything be done to speed up the process?
