What are the people of Italy like?
I'm thinking of going to Italy next year as an exchange student and i would like to know a little bit more of Italian society so i thought i might ask some people in here. Im not looking for the person who answers "everyone is different" either, just tell me what you notice no matter how stereotypical. So far ive heard Italians are funny, informal, and interested in politics and food. Not punctual too. All these sound great so far!

Like, uh, well, you know, they're like, uh, ITALIAN! Oh, and they're not all different, everyone is exactly the same. And they do like to eat political food, as you say. Campaign posters Parmesan is very popular, as is Speech Fettucini.

When I was in Italy for a 2 week vacation the Italians for the most part seemed like warm and friendly people. Their culture was very family oriented I saw families/ kids everywhere but they almost always seemed well behaved. I wouldn't say that they dress casually they seemed to be very into fashion, both men and women. I didn't see any Italian men in shorts or tennis shoes at all. I think you should go for the exchange student thing, it would be a wonderful experience. p.s. The food was awesome!

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.

Try speaking with the international office or academic office of your uni. Most good universities have annual student exchange programs.
2 :
to bad 15 year olds aren't in a university... and i would think you could google it? just try it, and also, would you know how to speak enough of their language to get by?
3 :
Since you're in high school, you'll have to go through your school. Talk to your counselors and have them help you find a program. When you find a school you're interested in, contact them. Do you know Italian? Unless you went to an English speaking school, you wouldn't be able to take courses, which means you would lose that whole year.

There's this Erasmus program for exchange students within Europe borders I guess. They pay for everything and even give you some pocket money. Though you need to have some qualifications like your GPA or certain language exams in some cases etc... I think it changes for each university. You should check it from the web. I forgot to mention that; for the highschool level there are some exchange programs arranged by organizations like Rotary. I know many people who had been exchange students when they were in high school.
5 :
You can do this, and you do not have to go through your school! I went to Japan through Youth For Understanding. I don't know if a 15 year old can go, but it'll take a while to apply and stuff. I was 16 when I went. You can even get scholarships and not have to pay for the program. You'll like it a lot. If you have any more questions, contact me.
