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

Has anyone ever been a foreign exchange student in Italy, Sweden, or Australia?
Has anyone ever been a foreign exchange student in Italy, Sweden, or Australia?
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.

(Study in Italy/Visa) Will I be able to get a student visa for Italy if I am only taking two courses?

In general, obtaining a student visa for studying in Italy is a surprisingly long, drawn-out, and cumbersome process as compared to getting visas for other countries. Italian authorities are relatively stringent in handing out visas. If you're planning on studying in Italy definitely get the visa process started quickly, because you really don't know how many delays there will be and how long it will take. If you need information on obtaining a student visa for Italy a good online resource is www.gullivergo.com. The site has helpful tips as to which Italian consulates you can contact in your area and which type of Visa you'll need to get. There are also discussion forums where you can talk to present and past study abroad students to find out how many courses are required for a student visa. With most study abroad programs there are temporary visas available. Good Luck!

I believe so, but run it by your embassy. The laws right now are pretty tight.

Niagara Falls boarders upstate New York as well as Canada, so you can conceivably go see it without leaving the states
3 :
Yes. Italy is one of the countries whose citizens are not required to obtain visa to visit Canada. You must, however, have your travel document to U.S. properly endorsed so you could return to U.S. without a glitch.
4 :
Yes, but easy access between USA and Canada will change by 2007. You should go sooner than later. You can see the falls from New York side since it lies between USA and Canada.
5 :
only if the student visa have the mention m or multiple entry, if not check Niagara falls from the us

How much time can I spend in Italy, student visa issues?
How much time can I spend in Italy, student visa issues?
Next year I'm planning on studying in Florence with my colleges foreign exchange program, but I'm not very clear on when I'll be allowed back to Italy, or if I'll be allowed to go with the program at all. I normally spend my summers in Italy with my fiancé (who is an Italian citizen), but I stay within the basic Schengen Agreement tourist time (90 days). What I don't know is after I come back from spending those 90 days, will I be allowed to get a student visa to return first semester? It would still be withing the 180 day period, but since visa's allow you to stay longer, I'm not sure whether it would be allowed. Also if it was allowed, would the time compound? Would I have to wait even longer than 90 days to return again on regular tourist time? Oh and I'm a United States citizen.

The Student Visa is completely different to entering Italy under the Schengen visa waiver scheme. For one trip you will be a tourist, for the other a bona fide student and that is how Italian immigration will see it. The 90 days out of every 180 days only applies to entering Italy as a tourist. Once you enter on the student visa this will supercede the Schengen tourist visa. The length of your student visa depends on the amount of time you will be studying in Italy. Just fill in the student visa form from the Italian Embassy's website, and make sure you've provided all the requested information. The Embassy will then issue a visa allowing you to stay in Italy for the time it takes to complete your course. Once your study is finished, you should be able to re-enter Italy as a tourist. By the time you've finished your course, your original 180 will be up anyway.
