non-stop my guess is around 12-14 hours
2 :
Well. It takes about 2-3 hours to fly to Newark NJ to do a transfer flight since Iowa has no nonstop flights to International Destnations. so add that to the 10 hour flight to Rome. Your looking at 12-13 hour flight which could be longer due to layover times, weather, ect.
3 :
Your friend can fly non stop to Rome on Alitalia from Chicago. The flight time from O'Hare Field to Rome is between 9.5 and 10 hours.
4 :

If the flight were non-stop, it would be approximately 10 hours. However, there are no scheduled nonstop flights from Iowa to Italy. The flight will involve at least one layover in Chicago, Detroit, or somewhere else - so it will be longer than 10 hours, depending on where you change flights and how long the layover is.

What Is A Good High School Foreign Exchange Program? Japan Or Italy

What Is A Good High School Foreign Exchange Program? Japan Or Italy?
Alright, I'm planning on going to Japan for a foreign exchange program, maybe Italy. [I haven't made up my mind. But if you have went to Italy or Japan when you were in high school. Tell me what your experience was like?] Now, I have around a 3.0 GPA which is typically enough, but I was wondering what other people have done, and which would be less expensive.

I myself have chosen rotary for japan it is very inexpensive ranging from 4,100 to 4,500 they give you a rotary counselor for the country you reside in and as well do backround checks for the host families Italy and Japan are just two of the countries they do many and with a 3.0 you should be fine but you also have to do interview
2 :

Just like the answer above I chose rotary as well. It is cheap, the are very strict about the family's they choose to allow in their program. I went to japan, lived in the city of Noda, north of tokyo about an hour i had a BLAST best experience of my life.

I need help finding a fashion school in Italy?
I am thinking about attending a fashion school in Italy. I haven't had any luck finding something, but what I am looking for is a school that the tuition is less then 25,000 US dollars, offers alot of different programs for the fashion industry, and it would help if it offered student housing. And an english speaking website!?

Before attending F.I.T in NYC, I did a semester in Florence and attended Lorenzo di Medici. Other schools in Italy are: L'academia in Florence and Polimoda (also in Florence, which happens to be part of F.I.T). The school I almost attended instead of FIT was Marangoni in Milan. If I were you, I would really look into Polimoda and Marangoni, because they are the best. Hope this helps!

What would be the best way to get to Ireland from Italy during July

What would be the best way to get to Ireland from Italy during July?
I already put up this question a few days ago about how I'm going to Italy in the summer. I want to go to Ireland for a weekend while I'm staying in Italy for school. Anybody know the best way to get from Italy to Ireland? By best I mean least expensive, safest... stuff like that. I know the rail system over there can't be beat, but would it be cheaper to go by train and then boat or the Chunnel or something, or would flying be the best option? Come on Europeans help me out!

I'd imagine if you are only going for the weekend you would definitely have to fly, anything else would take too long!
2 :
Your best bet is to fly...Any other way would take too long..Look the internet for cheap flights.
3 :
Their is simply one word that you need RYANAIR
4 :
Oh for goodness sake, look at an atlas and have a bit of sense. It would take you days to travel by train! Fly! There are direct flights from Italy to Cork, Dublin and Shannon! Try www.aerlingus.com.
5 :
It would definitely not be cheaper by train, plus it would take days and you'd have to travel through England and Wales as well if you were going by the chunnel. There's loads of cheap flights if you book well enough in advance, and it only takes about 2 hours to fly. http://www.ryanair.com http://www.aerlingus.com

you seem a bit young to be making this decision or "choice" on your own. isnt this something your parents should be deciding? regardless, you need to be wherever you know people and trust them. you are still too young to really know what the world can be like. otherwise you will become just another idiot american girl that thought she was invincible and something terrible happens. either place will work just fine and are so close to each other once you are there that you can always visit the one you dont choose. you need to talk to your parents or trusted adults on this, not a web full of strangers.

You get to take an apartment by yourself at age 14? What's going on, here? You are not old enough to take care of yourself at home, much less all alone in a foreign country! Stay at home with your parents.
3 :
Live in Italy mate. It is safer for someone your age. And the drug problem isn't so bad there.
4 :
I'm italian and i would suggest you to go to London, cause our school system is totally different from all the rest of the world. It could even be not accept everywhere. Btw, America is better i think ;)
5 :
It depends if you speak Italian. I seriously doubt you speak Italian (but I may be wrong) so I'd say play it safe and go to London. If you learn Italian, you could always give Italy a try. I've been living here for almost 9 years and like it very much, but Italy does have it's problems. Well, every country has it's problems but it depends if you are willing to go with the flow or want to live in a nice little box. Will you be moving to Europe by yourself or with your family? I mean, at least here in Italy no one in their right mind will rent an apartment to a 9th grader.
