It is definitely cheaper to live in Italy. France is a very expensive country to live in, especially Paris! Unless you only decide to eat bread for lunch everyday (but even that is more expensive than in other places). It's about 4 euros (about 8 US dollars) for concentrated orange juice, just in a sketchy restaurant.

studying is hard in Italy (in pavia, lecce or genova). It would be a great experience to live there but on the other hand I am afraid of stress because of different workload. P.s. I am from Lithuania and I am studying English

Studying in Italy is pretty much like studying anywhere else. You have schools with very rigorous programs and schools that are more laid back. In general, exchange students are given more flexibility by teachers because they understand that you need a period of adjustment. They also understand that your priorities are to learn more about the culture and the language, and not so much about chemistry or algebra... Talk to your study abroad program advisor and try to decide on the right school and location for you. Studying abroad is a wonderful opportunity, so don't worry about it. You'll be just fine. Good luck!

I recommend checking out http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ It's a site written for exchange students by former (and current) ones. If your questions aren't answered there, you can write in and ask!

Studying in Italy would be a great experience for you! It's always going to be difficult to adjust to the new environment at first, but I bet you'll have so much that you won't even realize you're in another country. Here's a good site that tells you about studying abroad in Italy: http://www.studyabroaddomain.com/italy.aspx To help you pay for your experience you can get a scholarship. Scholarships are free sources of money that you can use to help pay for your trip. The best thing about them is that you don't have to pay them back!

What is the cheapest way to learn Italian in Italy on a student Visa? / tutoring on the side? Part time studen?
What is the cheapest way to learn Italian in Italy on a student Visa? / tutoring on the side? Part time studen?
What schools would be most cost effective and quality at the same time? Would I be able to tutor English on the side to earn a bit while there? Is there an English proficiency exam I could take to prove my competency in English? I am an American but I know this does not automatically qualify anyone to tutor. I may have one semester of tutoring experience (with my jr. college) by the time I come to Italy. Any tips on schools, lodging/rentals, least expensive ways to shop for food clothes and so on.....I would be vary grateful! Also, can I get a travel visa to Italy if I am only taking one Italian or two courses? Is there a minimum required amount of courses to get student visa? I hope very much to see Italy next year and learn Italian fluently (is so Bollo!) I can hardly wait to see the Treve Fountain and learn the language and experience the people and culture! Thank you again.... Ciao! P.S. Thinking of Rome or Milan but I would love suggestions on places to see or study.....

Milan & Rome are fun cities but smaller ones like Padua, Bologna or Perugia (big university towns) may be more for you. You'll also find more people needing your English lessons! Note that many Italian cities & towns offer free Italian lessons to foreigners. These lesson are offered by the municipalities themselvs. Note that many Italian cities have English language available on their home pages: http://iat.comune.bologna.it/IAT/IAT.nsf

AFS Year Program - september to July 2011 - $10'700 - not sure about deadline but i think i might of missed out Student Exchange Australia 10 months - sep 2010 to july 2011 - $10'800 - deadline (1st april missed) could i somehow organise something for me around this time 6 months - Jan 2011 to June - $9'800 - 1st october deadine available 10 months - jan 2011 to october - $10'800 - 1st october deadline available I would love to go to italy has anybody had an expierences there?

Actually you're in High School. In Australia, State School refers to primary schools, not high school. As the academic year in Europe begins in September, and that's when most exchange students begin their studies, you've definitely missed this deadline. But you could still scrape in for the January program. The best thing to do is contact the organisations running this program and see if places are still available. If there are places, you'll need to meet the application deadline to ensure you have time to get a visa. One thing you haven't mentioned is language. Do you actually speak some Italian, because this is a requirement for an Italian exchange through Student Exchange Australia. See the FAQs on their website: http://www.studentexchange.org.au/faq/ And are your parents aware of the costs involved?

URGENT! Can I go to Italy study abroad without a student visa?
URGENT! Can I go to Italy study abroad without a student visa?
I received my U.S. citizenship late and therefore the Italian consulate gave me the 14th as appointment date, and I must leave by the 12th. 1. What are the chances if I just go straight to the consulate and ask them to do a student visa quickly for me because of the emergency 2. Can i go there without a visa, i think they let U.S. citizens stay there for 3 months without a visa. and I can come back during those 3 months to get my visa signed, or not. WILL this way work???

You can certainly go to Italy as a visitor from the US without a visa. However, I recommend though that you call the university right now and ask for advice as the Italians are entitled to refuse you a student visa if they see your study start date is before your application date and that your passport is stamped as having entered as a visitor. Generally countries work on a reciprocity basis. As the US enforces a 'no entry without the correct visa' policy on Italians, they are perfectly entitled to do the same to you. It's called 'the law of unintended consequences'. Amazing how that works.

How can I make my new foreign exchange student feel more welcome?
How can I make my new foreign exchange student feel more welcome?
Yesterday, my family picked up our new foreign exchange student from Italy. I want things to go very smoothly and I want her to not feel too homesick. Any tips or advice on how to make this all work well? All will be appreciated.

i would suggest that at least once a week have italian food and the rest american or what ever you desire. show her around little italy so she can see if it's anything like her home town, but also be aware that she came over here for a reason so don't be afraid to ask her if their is anything she would like to see. i hope this works. good luck!

It is very nice of you to be concerned about her, and that will probably make more difference than anything. I have worked with a lot of foreign exchange students, and the ones who were happiest with their homestays were always those who had hosts who weren't just renting out a room but rather took the time to include them in their families. Help her meet other young people, both from your country and other foreign exchange students in the area. Having friends she can talk to will make her feel at home. Take her out to see local sites. Tell her about some of the things to do in the area, and ask her what she'd like to do. Trying new experiences is probably the most exciting part of living abroad. Even seemingly mundane things like bowling can be interesting in a new country because it fives you a glimpse at a new culture and how people live & interact. Ask her to teach you a few Italian phrases and maybe some dishes or whatever it is she can to help her feel like she's contributing to the family. Keep a sense of humor, and show her it's ok to make mistakes, like when you stumble over Italian phrases. That way she'll know you understand when she struggles with English. Ask if the local elementary school would like her to come in and talk to the kids about her native land. This will help her feel proud of her culture & connect with the community. Schools often have international festivals, or she could talk to a class that is studying the Roman Empire. Also give her the chance to have some alone time when she needs it. She may get depressed from time to time, and it's ok if she's a little sad. If you see her in a mood like that for more than a couple hours, just do a quick check-in with her and invite her to go out to dinner or even just grocery shopping or whatever it is you would do regularly, or ask if she'd like to invite one of her new friends over. If you can give her access to the Internet to keep in touch with friends & family at home, that would be great, too.
