That's actually really cheap. I went to Italy over spring break in 2008 and it was almost 3000 and it included hotel, tour, breakfast, dinner, tips, and airfare.

It's impossible to say without knowing how long you're going to be here and what kinds of souvenirs you'll buy. It would be easy to spend a lot more than that on one item in the fashion district in Milan for example. Generally, you can count on about 10 to 15 euro for lucnch although you could go even cheaper than that with panini or pizza by the slice. I was in Ferrara for the Palio yesterday and had a very good bigolata tartufato, tea, and coffee for 12 euro and that included an aperatif, bread, and some cookies. You could also very easily end up spending $100 for a branzino (sea bass) in Venice if you're not careful. You can use an ATM card here to withdraw money, so you could bring less cash and use the ATM if you need more. Too much isn't really a problem - you just don't spend what you don't need. People have more of a problem with too little cash. An ATM is called a bancomat here - they're widely available and most are on the major international circuits.

What is it like being a foreign exchange student?

What is it like being a foreign exchange student?
I'm from the USA, and I was thinking about taking a foreign exchange trip my junior year of high school for 11 months. I would be leaving so much behind, so I need to know if it is worth it to be an exchange student. We can go to the UK, Austria, Brazil, Italy, Guatomala, Russia, Japan, and many more countries. Please, help would be needed!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool! You'll surely never regret making such a move! Check into it more deeply. I'd suggest going where they speak a language you are studying.

Call or mail them in any sort and ask for shipping services if it is free of it needs payment. You can just buy in internet like ebay,amazon etc. Some offer free shiping and fast delivery. Make sure you will not be cheated .

YES it will be cheaper. I recently discovered (after traveling a year) that each ATM machine was charging me $7.49 USD to make a withdrawal PLUS a $19.50 currency exchange fee. Open an Italian account, wire the funds you need and have them available to you locally at a better price.
