How much should a student bring on a 11 day trip to France and Italy?
The trip is already paid for hotel, breakfast and dinner (NOT LUNCH)...So how much money should i bring all together in euros if i need to pay for lunch and other things i want to buy (like gifts)?

generally speaking it is good to have avail 100 dollars per day for your budget as a minimum. likely, depending on if you are a shopaholic or not, you will not spend this much. however, it is good to have it incase you find that certain something. and or if other things come up. I know I have been to: England France Luxumburg Germany Austria Belgum Japan Okinawa Mexico Hawaii (part of the us but still IT'S HAWAII) I have been 3/4 the way around the world and i'll tell you sometimes you find things you JUST CANT GET anywhere else. I've also been in the unfortunate position of not having enough for what i wanted and or what i needed. it can put a REAL damper on your trip. best bet is do the math for what you think you will NEED + what you think you will WANT then double it. 2(NEED + WANT)= minimum you should bring. for your trip i'd say 3-4k would be just about right if you can swing it. borrow money that you can pay back later if you have to it will be worth it. trust me. than if you find you didn't need as much as yo thought after all. then you have an advance on paying off the people you borrowed from. just a note france kind of sucks it's pretty and all but...not worth it. Japan on the other hand. THAT'S a trip if you ever get the chance go to Kyoto.

BRING AN ATM CARD!!!!!!!!!! Bringing dollars with you to Europe just increasing the chance of them getting stolen and of you getting jipped on the exchange rate (I just lived there for 4 months... the rate sucks.) Keep your card somewhere safe, get out like 80 euros (around $100) the first day and then just see how much you spend. I'm not saying carry the card on you at all times, but having it is a much better choice.

I assume that you are a high school student going on a class trip. If it IS a school trip, you'll be having meetings that will answer all of your questions. The teachers have done this before and know what is best to bring. In my opinion, "Jolly Roger" is way off base; 3-4K is way too much cash for anyone to be carrying, especially since tourists are targets for pick-pockets in all major European cities.
4 :
You can get lunch on the run in Italy for less than 5 Euros a day assuming you eat at a bar or place that offers panini (sandwiches) or pizza. Don't forget that you may get the munchies between lunch and dinner. Budget another 5-10 Euros for gelato or some other small snack. Assuming you don't plan on buying souveniers everyday, have 50 Euros on you to cover expenses outside of food. You do the math based on what you can afford.

Do you play a sport? Especially Soccer... we suck at it and if you were mediocre in Italy you would be amazing here and would get a full scholarship! Just email a school in the US you want to go to and see what they say!
2 :
in the US, a student must have a four year Bachelor degree and take the MCAT before they can apply to med schools. there is very little in the way of financial aid to international students from US schools. check out several US school web site to see what you would need. Try Ohio State Unviersity.

I've been on 2 people to people trips; england, ireland, and wales in 2005 and austria, switzerland, italy, france, and germany 2007. Some of the hotels were cool and others wre just average hotels. The food in France was ok. the food in Italy was amazing. I loved everything about Italy, especially Venice. I loved the gondola ride, the colleseum, the leaning tower of pisa, "gladiator school", the effiel tower, the lovre, versailles, playing soccer with the french kids, EVRYTHING. If you ahve the chance, go on the trip. You won't regret it.

Let you school counselor know about it, as soon as possible. If you don't have a counselor, ask a favorite teacher and your principal. They'll be able to steer you in the right direction.
2 :
Who want to exchange with you? you can't even spell foreign
3 :
Programs in high school are usually thousands of dollars, as far as I know. If you wait until you're in college you can do exchanges for virtually nothing. If you really want to do it though, talk to your counselor. Your other problem is that many programs don't accept anyone under the age of 16 or, more frequently, 18.
4 :
scholar ship, or get an educational grant

If so could you tell me what you liked most about it and least about it and if you would recommend that country to study in. I'm in high school and thinking about going to one of those places so any input would be helpful. thank you!

I attended Uppsala Universitetet in Uppsala, Sweden for my junior year in college. I found Swedish to be ridiculously easy to learn since it is very similar to English; the pronunciation can be tough, though, as they have several speech sounds that English doesn't. Almost all classes are taught in English, and they use English-language textbooks (too expensive to translate every book into Swedish!). If you are accustomed to VERY cold, windy weather in the wintertime and really long winter nights (20hrs, on avg. in Uppsala), you'll get along fine. Late spring, summer, and fall are gorgeous. At midsummer (late June), the days are about 22hrs long. Swedes are probably the most reserved of all Europeans, so most people you'll hang with will likely be other foreign students. The Swedish government allows several weeks of vacation, both in winter and in summer. That means your winter break will be about 6 weeks. It's plenty of time to explore the rest of Europe and get some sunshine! Sweden is REALLY expensive, so be prepared.
