What is the best school to study italian in italy in

What is the best school to study italian in italy in?
I'd want it to be a city area where there's stuff to do after 8 or 9pm. I was thinking of going to ACLE in bologna, but they haven't returned my emails so I'm afraid to invest in that school.

I'd go to any of the university towns where there'll be a bit of student life. http://www.saenaiulia.it/index.php in Siena for example

Milan's the most european city of Italy. http://www.esl-languages.com/en/adults/italian/language-school/italy/milan/linguadue/index.htm Also Rome could be a good choice: http://www.esl-languages.com/en/adults/learn/italian/rome/italy/index.htm

Almost all offices are closed in August for holidays. Maybe that's why they have not replied yet

High school exchange? Italy? France? Good stories? Bad stories? worth it

High school exchange? Italy? France? Good stories? Bad stories? worth it?
i live in canada and have good grades, i also know the company were going to do the exchange through (its a non profit organization called CEEF-ceef.ca) my guidance counselor said its a great idea, i can choose between italy, france, spain, mexico, belgium, the netherlands and germany. although you choose 4 countries on the entry for my choices go like this 1. italy 2. france 3. spain 4. belgium i speak french but you can go knowing very little of whatever language you speak in the country you choose. im just worried about 1 thing, first the person from the other country comes here and lives with me and my family for threemonths from mid-august to mid-november and then i go from mid-february to mid-may and i dont mind being away from my parents cause im used to that but im worried about having to be with this person in my home 24/7, no alone time with my best friends etc. can anyone tell me of their experience? advice? anything? Thanks a million!

hi, i'm from the UK and i've been on a student exchange, though here it isn't as long as that, it's only for a week and i went to germany. it was amazing yet really scary, and you can still do loads of stuff with your mates, just do something that you'd all enjoy. you wouldn't have to be with them all the time, i mean three months is a long time, maybe they'll make some friends of their own, or maybe you and your mates might become really good friends with this other person. remeber that this might be this persons first time abroad, or away from home, so be sensitive.

Is it possible to study in italy RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL

Is it possible to study in italy RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL?
I will be entering my senior year of high school and graduating in June 2009. i was wondering if it is possible to do a degree program for languages, or anything for that matter in Florence Italy. Has anyone ever done that? Is it possible to go from high school to a University in Italy and not in the US? Anyone have any experience with this and could you help me if you do?

I don't think so, your first year is mostly that "get to know you" crap, and they don't want you to fall through the cracks your first semester there by taking on something intense like time abroad. But second semester you should be GOLDEN. All I can say is GO GO GO!!!! and good luck!

probably. i live in britain and hold a European Union passport so i can move inbetween te 22 countries already in the EU you must apply and then get a student visa, they can convert your grades to italian equivelnts so you wont need to take additional exams, te first year of university is not get to know you crap as in previous answers, a serious degree is started straight away with smaller tutor groups meeting for once a week troughout the year, no get to know you suff could take a year the uni doesnt care about your personality

Yes. I answered your other question about studying in Italy, but here is a great source for degree programs in Florence. This is the link so you can do a personalized search for the type of degree you want to earn: http://www.degreeabroad.com/search.cfm ... and then this is a link of general degree programs: http://www.degreeabroad.com/listings.cfm/countryID/43/mainregionID/62/studytypeID/2 You don't need a first year or semester of college in the U.S. before leaving ... why waste your time, if you really want to be in Florence? Just jump in! Good luck!
