I am a college student going to Italy(Rome, Florence) for spring break, what should I pack?
I have absolutely NO idea what to pack. Jeans? Cute Tops? I know not to wear shorts. What shoes should I take(I will be doing a lot of walking)? Is it really offensive to wear dresses that are above the knee(the only kind I have)? I am so lost and in need of desperate help! :( I would also really love if someone that lives in Italy, or Europe or knows a lot about the dress code there, would give me their email so I can ask them a couple more questions! :) Thanks so much! :) ALSO: I straighten my hair everyday. I am very tempted to bring my Chi and some power adapters but I hear that fries and destroys your Chi. What should I do about that?

Don't worry, it's not offensive to wear tops or dresses that are above the knee (in Italy are called "Pinocchietti" ). The Italian girls to dress themselves take example from the American style they see on TV and then you can take what you have in your wardrobe. However jackets, boots, classic shoes, heels. In many clubs, however, don't accept the sneakers. At half page you can see an example: http://freefashion.forumfree.it/?t=25244676

I agree with the above poster. You're absolutely fine wearing short dresses and shorts if you want to (apart from if you are visiting the Vatican where you will have to at least cover your shoulders). Just bring whatever shoes you're comfortable with. I'm not sure when Spring Break is as I'm from the UK and we don't have spring break here but I'm guessing it's around March - April time? Although it won't be as hot as the summer months it will probably still be quite warm so just bear that in mind, especially if you will be doing a lot of walking. Have fun. Italy is beautiful :)

Italian high school students get a very helpful great sex education class. While some US high school don't teach kids about safe sex. At the end in US we end up with a lot of 17 year old girls pregnant. (Statistically) Sara Palin's 17 year old is an example of why sex education instead of religious bigotry is the best way to go!

Italian High Schools usually doesn't teach sex education (unluckily), in fact Italy is one of the most ignorant european countries about sex education... Probably it is Vatican's fault and of its political interference ... --- I don't know how american school are so I can't be useful, but if you ask me something of more specific, I'll try to answer...

go to a piercing shop, maybe they'll believe that you are 16. or whatever the legal age is there to get a piercing without a parent. or you can go with a "guardian angel" somebody who is older, and can say you can get it pierced. or somebody who looks older. that's how it works where im from, but you only have to be 15 to get a piercing without parents, :\ goodluck! btw, it hurts so bad after it's piereced, the slightest bump makes your eyes water
3 :
if you like , you can attach some decoration on your nose before getting your nose pierced . hoping you will not regret for your impulsive . :P

I AM ITALIAN. You can do your piercing whenever you want, we don't care about the age, but absolutely you can not do without you parents' permission, unless you are 18 years old or more.

How fast is a student italian visa processed at the Chicago consulate?
How fast is a student italian visa processed at the Chicago consulate?
Today (July 7) I have completed most of my student visa application to study abroad in Italy. I am hopefully mailing it to the Chicago consulate tomorrow. My departure date is August 18. I'm a little worried now, and am unsure on the turnaround for getting my passport and visa back. Any insight on how long the processing takes? Do you think I'm OK? Can anything be done to speed up the process?

Depends on where are you going? Which city? High schools are boys and girls mixed. State schools don't have uniform, but if you're going to a private one you should be able to see that on their web page. winter - still depends on where are you going... main transport - i'd say buses around the city if you tell me the city you're going to i'll be able to give you some more details

Im a girl exchange student from Italy. American boys are driving me insane! A little help?
Hi everybody...please i need help:D im in this school in oregon since september. there is this boy that i really like(just because he is way hot). he is in 4 of my periods,at the beginning of school he used to stare at me a lot and then after some days he came and started talking to me and flirting and being annoying...everything in a soft way actually,like standing in front of me while i was walking in the hallway,squeezing my hips,staring at me till I finally look at him,kicking my foot under the desk and things like these. You know,just flirting.This lasted for about 2 and a half months without nothing new.He asked for my number and started texting me,not a lot,just like once every 10 days or something like that. Well,I started liking him so much,he is soooo freakin hot,but it's like one week that he is not talking to me anymore and flirting either. he's just ignoring me. i know that he doesn't have another girl,and i actually know that he thinks that im pretty hot cause he told me,sooo?! what's his problem? now in some lessons that we have together he just ignores me to talk with his best girlfriend. i mean,if u like me and im there,why are u talking with your friend?! and he used to talk to me a lot!! i dont know,this is too hard for me,i didnt even notice him till he started putting on me,and now that im like obsessed with him and i really wanna have something with him he is not thinking about me anymore. damn! im desperate,what should i do?!?just ignorning him? help please!! thanks america:)

I hope you get to read this in like 5 years. And have a nice hearty laugh. Youre freakin out now but lets be honest High School blows as far as "dating" goes. Youll probably find that in a month youll have "gone out" and broken up and he broke your heart bc he was sooo way way totally hottt. Then he'll be the douche you couldnt believe you dated and the cycle will start again. Is it really that much different in italy?
2 :
Girl up and start texting him. Ask him what he has planned for the weekend. This will show him that you have interest in him. If he still likes you, he will tell you what his plans are and then ask you to hang out with him.
3 :
Americans are douchebags anyway.
4 :
hot people are a dime a dozen in HS you had your shot to let him know that you you're diggn him, you snooze you lose, he's moved on. the whole fish in the sea thing . . . the only thing you can do is march up to him and ask him out. If he says yes then cool, if he says no well it's not like you talk to him a whole lot and you'd get to start crushing on someone new.

well I was dating an exchange student from slovakia :(... WAS, we are on " a break" now. Anyways, if you want an actual relationship, i fear if you get TOO involved with each other it may hurt the both of you later when you must leave, or just cause problems like i experienced knowing the relationship has a guaranteed deadline. But if you want to give it a shot anyway (who knows you may be made for each other) guys are getting smarter (sorry to say) they find out what drives a girl crazy these days. He leads you on and then ignores you because he wants to keep you interested but he does not want to overdo it. He more than likely wants you to pursue him. He may like the sense of "power" if you will knowing he has you right where he wants you. Guys like this really piss me off because they get all the girls. Now I am 18 and definitely not gay. I want to help YOU even though i may be helping him to. If he really likes you then this is what you must do to get HIM to pursue YOU. You need to play hard to get and sort of ignore him when he does interact with you. Maybe even talk with some other guys (not necessarily flirting) This should make him feel like he is losing you (if he really does care enough for you) He should begin paying more attention to you and possibly ask you out. Just make sure you still play hard to get a little bit but still act interested. This draws guys in SO bad. A clingy girl (even when beautiful) is most likely to push a guy away.
