Can a US student in France travel to other countries?
Hi. I'm an American student planning on studying in Paris next August-May(1 school year) and I will have a student visa. I was wondering if I would be able to travel between countries during my vacation times/weekends. For example if I wanted to take an extended weekend trip to Italy, would I be able to do that on my student visa, or am I restricted to the country? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You'll be able to visit all Euros's Countries without any problem. Passport checked to visit other places like Switzerland, but not a problem at all.

It depends on your passport. Student visa are national visa which do not authorize travel to other countries. Your US passport however waives the visa requirement for travel as tourist for up to 90 days in a 180 day period. Passport holders of the following countries are visa waived for the Schengen area: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, USA, Uruguay, Vatican City, and Venezuela. Citizens of other non-EU countries require a visa prior to travel. Switzerland will become a Schengen country by the end of this week. Regular Passport controls will be eliminated on land borders however custom controls will still take place. Source(s): http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp

I am based in France and have 4-5 weekends to travel. One weekend is for London, one weekend is for Florence and one weekend in Ansterdam. I will also be in Italy for 10 days.. Best way to save me money and see all what I can? I am a 20 year old female with a International Student ID. Good hostels? Train advice?

I was on Erasmus in Antwerp (Belgium) 2 years ago, we used to travel every weekend. Usually we used Ryanair (ryanair.com) to travel to the UK, Spain, Portugal etc. Basically you should check: - Ryanair deals, can be very cheap if you buy in advance - other cheap airlines like Easyget - Eurolines (international bus service) - sometimes they offer discounts and good weekend-away deals - Train company discounts I don't know any hostels in these cities cos I usually stay by my friends :) If you wanna go really cheap register on couchsurfing.com and look for the hosts. If you don't wanna stay by anyone, you can also simply look for the guides. Sometimes it's good to have someone local who can show you around :) The better you organize your trips the more you can save, believe me!

There are several budget airlines operating here; a couple of good sites for finding relatively cheap flights are: http://www.skyscanner.it/ and http://www.whichbudget.com/ . The German train website is very good for determining schedules throughout Europe: http://www.bahn.de/i/view/USA/en/index.shtml , but you'll need the local sites to price and book tickets: http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/homepage_en.html (Italy) , http://www.sncf.com/en_EN/flash/ (France) , http://www.ns.nl/cs/Satellite/travellers (Netherlands). You can find others with a simple search. If you're staying in or near Paris, the night train is a very good option for travel to/from Florence. This is especially true if you buy tickets in advance and can get the "smart price" discount which will cost 35 euro for a berth in a 6 bed compartment. This is an excellent site for train travel: http://www.seat61.com/ and can help you determine whether a Eurail pass is worthwhile for you or not.

i'm italian and i can ensure you that it's awesome... we've got lots of problems and defects but italy's marvellous. if you can stay in florence, venice or rome even a short time you're gonna love them, art, fashion and history... but i visited france and switzerland, cos i live in the north near the lake maggiore (very colse to switzerland) and they're beautiful too, but not as italy (for me...)... but in spring i'll do a student exchange with a school in brig (switzerland) and i think i'll have a lot of fun

I am swiss but i life here in the us now for 18month. if to learn something is your number one priority then go to switzerland. the people are not as open as italians but you wont have any problems with that. swiss people usually speak pretty good english. italy is nice too, bt they dont take it that serious all the time. i would go to switzerland since they have a french, italian and swiss german speaking part. so its a 3 for 1 combo ;-) good luck

What do I need to know about studying abroad in Arezzo and/or being in Italy as a foreign student for 5 mo.?
I am studying abroad in Arezzo, Italy at Uni. Siena @ Arezzo in Spring 2009. The semester runs February-June and I have a few questions: 1 - What are the normal temperatures February-Spring in Arezzo. 2 - What is there to do on a regular basis in the town? 3 - How long is the train ride to Florence? 4 - Is Arezzo an expensive place to live compared to the rest of Italia? 5 - Are there many English speakers in Arezzo? 6 - Any other information regarding daily life in Arezzo or information regarding exchange studying at the university would be helpful. I will be studying through my university's exchange program (Univ. of Oklahoma).
