I definately vote France. You will have an opportunity to show the French that not all American are "stupid Americans", and you'll also learn that not all french people hate Americans. One of my best friends in the world in French, and we met in college when she came to the US as an exchange student.

Well, I would have to say Sweden. Although, I have never been, it is most appealing to me. It has such history, and then there is modern Sweden with all of the design and such. AND the Swedish language is by far the easiest language I have ever seen. Like, here we have 'am', 'is' and 'are' as state of being verbs, they just use 'år' for everything. Its awesome. Penna = pen. Mig = me. (Pronounced Mey) So you see when I mean with the similarities. But, your question does depend on what degree you are going for. And I am assuming your a Jr in college, not high school. haha. Oh, and if you choose Sweden, or want to learn a bit more language to help you decide, go here, http://www.onlineswedish.com/main.php , Björn rocks! :D

Please do not listen to people that truly do not know what they are talking about. Paris may not treat many Americans well from time to time but in truth they do not treat french people well if they are not from Paris as well. I do a lot of business in France and Switzerland and except for two times in Paris I have always been treated extremely well. I do not speak French but try and they like that you at least try. France is full of culture and the place to be for good food in Europe so you would not be disappointed. As well you could literally go into Switzerland by train for the weekend if you wanted to. Ireland is beautiful and friendly but limited as to what you could do.

Jenny, I'm French and I want to give you an advice : don't listen the anti-french propaganda developped by your government. The French don't hate Americans ! Believe me. They just disagree with the US foreign policy, that's all. They'll treat you as an individual, with respect if you respect them. Just an argument for convice you of going to France : to become fluent in an other language than yours. Think about the benefits in the future !!! You're welcome in France. (sorry for my poor english...)

-ASEE is around $4,000 and it's a program where you can either gor for a few weeks in the summer or do a year in your country cof choice, etc. They have a websit I'm sure you can fid it on google, I almost went, but got interested in something else. -People to People:Student Ambassador Program around $7,000 and theres a grade average for this one. It's a program where you choose a selection of different arranged countries and travel them within a few weeks period of time (I'm pretty sure) -I am sixteen and have had a lot of experience in this area, you'll be able to and it is awfully expensive so you would need to start raising money like now and need to apply around this time if you want a spot.

Should I be go to France or Ireland as an exchange student?
I live in the U.S. and studying somewhere else has caught my fancy. I'm trying to think of the advantages/disadvantages but I can't find any o.0 The program for Ireland only requires English and for France it's 2 years of French I grew up speaking English, Spanish, Gaeilge and I've spoken near-fluent French for 2 years since my family (including me) is OBSESSED with learning things.

Can you speak fluent (or near fluent) French? If not go to Ireland. When exchange students come to the US they speak English, they don't expect us to know their language so you need to keep that in mind. Currently...I would say Ireland. Europe is having some hard times now, besides the economy. There have been reports of terrorist threats so the closer to home, the better IMO. But don't let that decide for you. Choose what your heart says to do (I know that should be used for something big and life changing, but you never know what could happen). Just remember to have fun, and take LOTS of pictures.

I would go to France - I went to France as an exchange student for a year and loved it, and speaking fluent French has helped me to get several jobs. You can always go to Ireland as a tourist - you could even go for a long weekend from France as there are budget airlines like Ryanair if you want to visit.

Re-entering France after student visa expires...?
Re-entering France after student visa expires...?
I just applied for a long-stay student visa... I got a feeling the French consulate would issue me a 4-month student visa according to the official duration of my exchange period... I am planning to travel across Europe after my exchange... That is, getting out of France and travel in other EU countries and Switzerland etc... After that, I have to get back to France to catch a flight home (i.e. I have gotten a two-way ticket)... Is it still possible to re-enter France --- my French student visa would have expired by then... In addition, any Singaporeans who have visited France for a student-exchange, do share your experience with me.... Thank you!!!!

You will get a Schengen visa which is valid for all EU countries except the UK and Ireland. This means that if you travel around Europe you will not cross any border checks or get any stamps in your passport. The Schengen visa is really an EU visa and so when it expires you must leave not just France, but the EU. Switzerland is outside the Schengen region but will join in 2008. There are passport checks on the French-Swiss border.

student visa from france - will this allow my illegal (in US) boyfriend back into US?
Thanks to the two people who answered my other question. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnQg8PZN.xjnbCpyEWpIAtnty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100405174644AAwNM75 My peruvian bf (illegal and asked to leave US) is voluntarily leaving the US to go to study in France. He is intending to get a French student visa and thinks this will get him back into the US by next winter. I did some research and there is such a thing as a long term visa in France for students (titre de sejour) which may grant a French residency permit. Would this allow him back into the US? I am skeptical and having a hard time believing that he'll be able to get back here legally. He went to high school here and went to college for 1 semester before his visa ran out and he got caught. Everything I"m researching doesn't make sense - are there loopholes that he can get around to come back? Thanks.

NO.
3 :
The short answer is No. After he leaves US and to come back, he has to apply US Visitors visa. However, even he gets French Residency permit or even he becomes French citizen, he will have extremely hard time getting his US visa approved due to his record of being out of status and voluntarily deported in US. There is no loopholes. He played that one before and now he is getting deported. It is unfortunate but he better forget about getting back to US, which is reality.
4 :
you say he got caught. does that mean he was deported? if so, he would be ineligible for any visa for 10 years. he would also be ineligible for any visa based on living in the US illegally, how long would depend on how old he was when he left, even if he wasn't legally deported. while it is sometimes possible to apply for a waiver on a tourist visa application, someone would have to consider him eligible for a tourist visa first, and I can't see that happening any time soon. so, just being a student in France won't make any difference.

I need help and advice!!! I'm an American student who wants to go to France for a month...?
I travelled Europe last summer and this summer I have decided that I would like to go to France for a month in August. However, I really would appreciate some advice and opinions on the best way to go about it. I would ideally like to be in Paris. I want to go and possibly do some sort of internship or volunteer/mission program. If you have any information that you could provide me with that would be fabulous! Thank you.

August is the worst month to visit Paris, as most of the locals head off to the beach for their summer holidays. If you can, I would suggest waiting until September.
2 :
Paris is indeed deserted by many French people in August since it is the period when many firms close down for the annual summer holiday, retaining just a skeleton staff. You will not find an internship at that time of the year.There are very few openings for volunteer programmes and those that exist are not in Paris but as labourers or pickers on ecologically friendly farms in the depths of the countryside. If you are happy to go that way here is the website: http://www.wwoof.fr/eng/index.htm Bear in mind that as a non-European you are not allowed to seek paid employment. Another alternative would be to try to find an Au Pair job in Paris looking after the children of a family that is not going away and would need to have someone to look after their children, though they may find a month too short: the summer holidays for schools are from the end of June to the start of September. You would have to find an agency near where you live. Good Luck!

I would choose either France or Spain. Depends on what kind of culture you're most interested in. I myself am thinking about going to Spain for the summer and i couldn't be more excited about it! Besides, once you get there, traveling is super cheap. So even if you're in France, you could fly to Spain for a weekend for lik 50 bucks.
2 :
If I had to choose, Italy is the place to go out of the three. Be careful on answers ... there are paid recruiters from YFI and other companies who give advice looking to meet quotas on here.
3 :
Honestly any of those choices would be remarkable! When I study abroad I am choosing Paris, France. Can't get any better than that! Good luck picking, and enjoy!!
4 :
I studied in Italy and later traveled through France and Spain before I came back home. I would either do France or Italy for the majority of my time there. Spain is nice to see, but nothing as thrilling as the other two countries (besides Barcelona- that's a whole other story- I LOVED that city.)
5 :
Where you go is a highly personal question -- it depends on many factors including culture, language, education, etc. Is there a particular language you know or would like to learn? Is there a particular culture (food, customs, family relationships, etc.) that interests you? Would going to any particular country be helpful for your future career? What do your parents, teachers, friends, and others that know you say? Try checking out cultures-shocked.org too. Good luck to you!

Most likely, you'd be way below the level the other students are for your age, and unless you speak fluent French, you would't be taking math, science, history, geography... etc... like the rest of the students. If you do speak fluent french, I would suggest going for the year, just get a visa and sign up, I'm sure your family there can help you out with the administrative things, you'll be much better off from the experience. Cheers. (By the way, 'lycée' just means 'high school', its not some special school)
2 :
You would have to talk to your guidance counselor, or the office about that. They can give you all the information. I know that you will have a much easier time than the student doing the same thing from France, coming here. They generally have to attend a US school, and keep up all their grades here, PLUS do all their work from the home schools, because their education is all nationalized, so if they don't keep up, they wind up getting put in a vocational track, even if they are high on the academic levels ordinarily. At least, that's how it used to work.

If you do speak fluent french, I would suggest going for the year, just get a visa and sign up, I'm sure your family there can help you out with the administrative things, you'll be much better off from the experience. Cheers. (By the way, 'lycée' just means 'high school', its not some special school)
2 :
You would have to talk to your guidance counselor, or the office about that. They can give you all the information. I know that you will have a much easier time than the student doing the same thing from France, coming here. They generally have to attend a US school, and keep up all their grades here, PLUS do all their work from the home schools, because their education is all nationalized, so if they don't keep up, they wind up getting put in a vocational track, even if they are high on the academic levels ordinarily. At least, that's how it used to work.

Some notes on visas for France and other Schengen countries : Schengen Visa Schengen Zone The Schengen Agreement was originally signed in 1985, but was not implemented until 10 years later in 1995. It removed the need for border control posts, allowing easy access between countries that are part of the agreement. This is a list of countries participating in the Schengen Agreement: Austria Belgium Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Italy Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland Visa types The countries in the Schengen agreement have a uniform visa regime that distinguishes 4 main types of visa. In addition, specific types exist for special groups (notably, refugees and diplomats), but these are not relevant to regular travellers. Transit visa (A and B visa) Transit visa are required for non-exempt third-country nationals passing through the Schengen area. Both visa have a maximum validity of 120 hours. The holder of an A-type visa is not allowed to leave the airport transit area. The holder of a B-type visa is allowed to use overland transport for transiting purposes. The visa may be subject to routing restrictions. Short stay visa (C visa) Short stay visa are required for non-exempt third-country nationals. The same rules apply to those who are exempt from visa application; they just do not need to apply in advance, but are granted the visa (in the form of an entry stamp) upon arrival. The holder of a C-type visa is allowed to stay in the Schengen area for maximally 90 days in a 180 days period. This means you can stay in the Schengen area for at most 90 days, then leave for 91 days, then come back, etc. YOU CANNOT RENEW YOUR VISA / VISA WAIVOR BY EXITING AND RE-ENTERING IN LESS THAN 91 DAYS C-type visa can be single-entry or multiple-entry. Validity is printed on the visa. Validity may start either at the date of issuance, or at the date of first entry. This seems to depend on the issuing authority; make inquiries prior to booking flights etc. C-type visa are not extendable beyond the 90-days-within-180-days limit. Additional restrictions may be set by individual countries party to the agreement, especially concerning purpose of visit, financial means, antecedents, ailments, etc. The holder of a C-type visa has to comply with the additional requirements of each country s/he wants to enter. Long stay visa (D visa) Long stay visa are subject to regulations of the issuing state. They are not uniform Schengen visa, and come by many different names. A D-type visa is required for every stay longer than 90 days. D-type visa are not issued for purposes of tourism. Usually, D-type visa only allow the holder to reside in the issuing country.

Combination visa (C+D) Combination visa are meant to give the holder of a D-type visa the possibility of moving through the Schengen area. Both parts are subject to the regulations described above. When the validity of the C-part starts, seems to depend on national regulations of the state issuing the D-part.

One way is to go is through your University (or an associated University) as a study abroad student. Some have classes in French Universities and have students living in apartments or home stay situations.

Going on exchange is an incredible experience! I applaud your interest in it. My biggest piece of advice is to go with an organization that is listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. While it is possible that a good organization is not listed with them, it is less likely and I would advise doing more research on anyone that is not listed with them. I wish I could give you some information based on direct experience with going on exchange but I was not fortunate enough to be able to do that. However, if you go to http://yfuusa.org/american-students/more-information/alumni-referral.php you can contact some former exchange students, including a couple who have gone to France. I hope that helps! Wish I could give you more information.

Without knowing what passport you have there is no sensible answer. As you are in France legally you should be allowed to return.

Not sure that you need to be enrolled in college as you say... I just think that you should better ask to an "au pair agency" wich will give you all the good tips and will tell you what is required in a formal point (and for their own needs). I think (but maybe I'm wrong) that it's more the personnality and the good education that make a good au pair. I just had a look to an au pair agency website, and they ask their au pair to have their "baccalauréat" and to speak french (studied 3 years), but I think the different agency have different requests.

No--teens from anywhere in the world are pretty similar. She may speak a different language and even dress a bit differently, but inside she's probably just like you (or one of your friends). It might be tough for you to form a good relationship if she doesn't speak much English and you don't speak much French, but try to take her out and just do the things you normally like to do. Ask if she has any special interests or things she likes to do (art, music, hiking, biking, etc.) and try to do things with her or show her around parks and museums that would fit her interests. EDIT: French people do sometimes have a different outlook than Americans, but they don't all hate us like people think they do!

Yes. Once you're in the European Union you can travel throughout with your passport. I'm not sure what the time limit is for needing a Visa in France though. Just make sure you don't go over that. Have an awesome time!

You can't do this. Would need a transit visa. More on uk students - http://www.smartukstudent.com

A student visa for the UK, not a member of the Schengen agreement concerning travel, does not constitute a right to stay in France. It would waive a transit visa requirement, but only for the direct way to reach the final destination, for example if your flight arrives at Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris and your connection flight departs at Orly Airport, Paris. If you plan to stay in France for some days you enter the Schengen area and, unless your visa requirement is waived, you must apply for a short-stay visa in France. The visa requirement is waived for citizens of the following non-european countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Panama, Paraguay, Singapore, South Korea, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela.

A student visa for the UK, not a member of the Schengen agreement concerning travel, does not constitute a right to stay in France. It would waive a transit visa requirement, but only for the direct way to reach the final destination, for example if your flight arrives at Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris and your connection flight departs at Orly Airport, Paris. If you plan to stay in France for some days you enter the Schengen area and, unless your visa requirement is waived, you must apply for a short-stay visa in France. The visa requirement is waived for citizens of the following non-european countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Panama, Paraguay, Singapore, South Korea, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela.

I am a student in college but want to spend a couple weeks in France as a internship sort of .?
I am planning on majoring in international affairs/relations, but as Europe as my main focus of interest. I need a good website to purchase from, but I want to go with a big group. Any good websites out there. I go to a community college so the programs are really limited. I would like to go with other students from different school from different states or as a tour type thing. I go to a community college so the programs are really limited.

Check with the college/university you attend. From the research I've done, it seems you'll get a better price that way and you can earn college credits too.
2 :
Most colleges have exchange programs. You just have to make contact with the right deparmtment at your home college so they can tell you who is going when. The admissions department probably knows where to send you. If you go to study abroad, then the tuition will most likely be the same as your home college. Now...if you are a US citizen attending a US college, check out the colleges in other countries as often tuition is less....sometimes so much less that you could travel back and forth and live overthere and pay 50% less in tuition.

If you have a student visa you should be able to cross borders, however you would want to look at your visa to get the details on any restrictions, since they can be placed for virtually any instance.

i got one too! i was about to ask this question, i really want to know! i just looked, it's $6,499 plus $295 for delegate protection. ughh i can't go.
2 :
i went on a trip last year with people to people to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. it was the best time of my life! i met sooo many amazing kids and learned sooo much! it's not like school or anything, you pretty much go to a bunch of places and learn about the cultures. you may have a silly little quiz every now and then; but you can't fail. they also give you a high school credit once you have completed the program. also, you were sent that letter because you were either nominated by a teacher or a student in your school that has been on a trip with them the previous year. They don't send it out to everybody....even if you don't have the best grades. yes, it is expensive. most trips range from $4,500-$8,000 (most around the $6,500 area). although, you can pay by month (about $900 per month) or choose any other type of billing plan that you want. people to people also offers fundraising programs. i know a girl that was in my group who raised every single cent for her trip! also, EVERYTHING is included in the price. hotels, 3 meals a day, attractions, transportation, airline tickets, etc are all included. The only thing that you will need to bring money for are souvenirs. Misc. Info: -most trips last about 20 days (i think most trips to asia are about 14). -you go with a "delegation" which is made up of about 40 kids from your area as well as 4 "leaders" who are teachers from your area. -if you are in high school, you have a homestay...where you live with a family in the country that you are visiting for 2 or 3 days. -you have to go through a process in order to be accepted (3 letters of recommendation by teachers/adults and an interview) although, they accept pretty much everyone -you have monthly meetings with your delegation before you leave to get to meet the kids and leaders -IT WILL BE THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFEEEE! the letter you received is probably talking about a local information meeting. it probably says that you have to reserve a spot at the meeting. go on the website that they give you and reserve one! once you go to your information meeting you will learn pretty much everything about the program and meet your leaders. then you get all the application process info. don't worry about the application process because they accept pretty much everyone :] The only CONS that I can think about is the first day of your trip, you are awake for over 24 hours because you have a midnight flight and have to do stuff the entire day that ur flight arrives. Also, some kids didn't have the best homestay families and thought it was hard to communicate with them. Another con that i can think about is that you may not have the nicest leaders...on my trip i liked 3 of them but hated 1 guy. honestly, think about girl scouts when thinking about people to people. most people think its all about your trip....but really, the program starts wayyyy bfore the trip. for example, you will have monthly meetings to study/meet the people in your delegation and even have social events such as bowling! most of the kids that go on a people to people trip are really nice, smart (not genius smart...but usually honor students) and mature. you will meet such good friends!! Overall, you would NOT be wasting your time. You get a high school cedit, go to different countries, and make SOOO many amazing friendships! It really changed the way i saw the world and made me more independent.

3 :
You can give him a baseball cap of the team of the place you come from (if you come from USA of course).
4 :
Save your $$ (you'll need to bc things in France are VERY expensive, even everyday items). Give the family a family gift-- large jar/can of macademia nuts (noisettes Australiennes in France). They will think that you spent a fortune bc in France, macademias are very expense and are sold in boxes the size of cigarette packs (no such thing as large jars. Part of growing up is learning things like "bang for the buck." Unless, you are Blair Waldorf and have unlimited income. If you are from the UK, get them some Lessiter's or Thornton's chocolates (difficult if not impossible to find in France). If you want to give individual gifts, get the son a sweatshirt with a sports team logo. Easy to fit and not readily available in France. If in the US, the SA Spurs might work bc Tony Parker is from France and well known even by French ppl who do not follow bb in the US.

I think the program is meant to be more of a learning experience and provide something to put on college applications. I did not do it as it was too expensive and there was no financial benefit for me.

i have gotten those when i was in high school and i never went because they are expensive. and old friend went to one because her father paid for it and Shure she went to all these cool places however i do not think anything happened after such as she did not receive any scholarships from them ar anything. but that was a while ago so try calling them and asking if you are truly interested.
5 :
If you are one of your school's best students then chances are you were nominated and it may be legitimate. If you are not a great student then do not fall for it. Either way, if you choose to go then it may be costly and they will recommend ways for you to pay for it, such as raising money from your relatives, friends and neighbors who are more inclined to help you if you are not from a wealthy family and if you are a good kid, well rounded and smart. Otherwise you may be creating a burden for your parents so be sensitive to the whole thing, which it sounds like you already are. Going to Europe will enhance your education, help you look at things from a bigger picture more worldly view and may someday help you get that job, or some other opportunity. So it is worth it if you can do it. Good luck. P.S. I am concerned about your spelling errors, and lack of courtesy to capitalize letters in the beginning of each sentence above. You may fail the essay question and not get to go anyway.

99.9% its a scam, meaning that they are doing it for the money so you won't get any scholarships. If you really want to do one of those travel type things, do it through your school, and you might be able to get scholarship or other financial aid.

generally speaking it is good to have avail 100 dollars per day for your budget as a minimum. likely, depending on if you are a shopaholic or not, you will not spend this much. however, it is good to have it incase you find that certain something. and or if other things come up. I know I have been to: England France Luxumburg Germany Austria Belgum Japan Okinawa Mexico Hawaii (part of the us but still IT'S HAWAII) I have been 3/4 the way around the world and i'll tell you sometimes you find things you JUST CANT GET anywhere else. I've also been in the unfortunate position of not having enough for what i wanted and or what i needed. it can put a REAL damper on your trip. best bet is do the math for what you think you will NEED + what you think you will WANT then double it. 2(NEED + WANT)= minimum you should bring. for your trip i'd say 3-4k would be just about right if you can swing it. borrow money that you can pay back later if you have to it will be worth it. trust me. than if you find you didn't need as much as yo thought after all. then you have an advance on paying off the people you borrowed from. just a note france kind of sucks it's pretty and all but...not worth it. Japan on the other hand. THAT'S a trip if you ever get the chance go to Kyoto.
2 :
BRING AN ATM CARD!!!!!!!!!! Bringing dollars with you to Europe just increasing the chance of them getting stolen and of you getting jipped on the exchange rate (I just lived there for 4 months... the rate sucks.) Keep your card somewhere safe, get out like 80 euros (around $100) the first day and then just see how much you spend. I'm not saying carry the card on you at all times, but having it is a much better choice.
3 :
I assume that you are a high school student going on a class trip. If it IS a school trip, you'll be having meetings that will answer all of your questions. The teachers have done this before and know what is best to bring. In my opinion, "Jolly Roger" is way off base; 3-4K is way too much cash for anyone to be carrying, especially since tourists are targets for pick-pockets in all major European cities.
4 :
You can get lunch on the run in Italy for less than 5 Euros a day assuming you eat at a bar or place that offers panini (sandwiches) or pizza. Don't forget that you may get the munchies between lunch and dinner. Budget another 5-10 Euros for gelato or some other small snack. Assuming you don't plan on buying souveniers everyday, have 50 Euros on you to cover expenses outside of food. You do the math based on what you can afford.

France: student visa or regular visa?
Hello!! I am going to study to Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and need a visa since I will be there more than 6 months. Im very confused though. I went online to apply and the site said I needed to apply for another program ''Campus France'' to apply for my student visa. While I was applying it asked for my grades and other school information. Im sure Le Cordon Bleu doesnt need that information so I stopped. I figured it was for students who are planning on studying at the university. Do I apply for juat a regular visa? If so, where? I live in AZ. If you have any tips please let me know, Thank you so much!

No visa is required. Just bring your passport! The cooking school will have any extra fees covered since they manager of your school is best friends of the sub-minister for state affairs and so they have a visa excemption.
2 :
Visa necessary. I studied in France for 8 months and needed a student visa. Contact the consulate.
3 :
A visa is required for any stay of longer than 90 days. A student visa is what you want. A "regular" long stay visa, the Carte de Sejour, is actually what you will get. Its just that being a student in France is one way you can qualify to get one.

A visa is required for any stay of longer than 90 days. A student visa is what you want. A "regular" long stay visa, the Carte de Sejour, is actually what you will get. Its just that being a student in France is one way you can qualify to get one.

You need French good enough to interview and work in. If you are Canadian you have no right to job hunt in the EU without a visa. Other countries get nasty about people who ignore laws.
2 :
After you finish your degree you must have to apply for jobs with employers who are ready to sponsor you for work visa. Once a job is offered, its employer's responsibility to arrange visa for u to live/work in France. Once all is sorted out and u have visa in ur passport (its Type D visa for working in France). At renewal you will get a Residence permit (Type L) for one years renewable every year as far as you have a job. Good luck.

The French are smelly and rude so id say Italy.

More details would have helped, such as which part of each country. It would be more meaningful to compare cities than countries. The weather will be warmer in the south of each country, than in the north. The food will be better in the south of France rather than the north of France. Rome has more history than Milan, but Milan is a great fashion centre which you might like. So, if you can, research the CITIES that are your options. Failing that, you could consider: The Italians have less of an attitude than the French The French language is more widespread, and therefore more widely useful, than Italian The French have a more-exciting history than the Italians The French put a load of nuclear power station near the Italian border OR Toss a coin and go with that! Either place will surely be fantastic. Have a ball!
3 :
Can you speak either language? I would choose the one whose language I spoke. If I spoke neither I would go to Italy. The French feel that everyone should speak their language and are sometimes rude to those who do not speak it. Italy also has an interesting history. The Romans ruled Europe.
4 :
I have lived in both countries. I have never ever experienced a French person being rude. Ever. They are unfailingly courteous and my experience was if I was struggling with their language, they would try to help me. It's dangerous to talk in stereotypes about any country. Both are beautiful. Both have an amazing culture. Both have friendly people and the occasional person who is not so friendly. It's right that France tends to be more formal in its culture, Italy is generally very relaxed. Here is the major difference, which I assume will be important if you're a student. France is much more expensive than Italy. Food, clothing, the cost of living generally. Of course large Italian cities like Rome and Milan are expensive, but still less expensive than France. I now live in Italy. I chose it because I love Italian culture and I love Italian people. Of all the countries I've lived in, I find Italy the easiest. I don't know of anyone who has moved here from another country and doesn't like it. So on balance, I would go for Italy. But whichever you go for, make the most of the experience. I first lived 'abroad' as an exchange student too, and it opened up a whole new world for me. Keep an open mind, take in as much of the culture as you can, and enjoy it!

Careful as "collège" in French means middle school. I assume you mean universities? What do you want to study? Do you already speak French? Would you be doing a French language course? I liked attending this school; http://www.uco.fr/61803865/0/fiche___pagelibre/&RH= Here is it's sister school in Paris (although it's best to study French outside of Paris for a number of reasons); http://www.icp.fr/icp/etudiants_etrangers_uk.php Both are excellent for learning French. Angers set up housing for me. All I had to do was buy a plane ticket. Personally, I think U.S. university programs are much too expensive and isolating. They boast that they give college credit but for the money, I think it's better to study at home and then go over to France. I left after graduation. Hope that helps!
2 :
If you want to study in France for cheap and have a good time I would look into Universite de Bourgogne. I studied there for a month last summer and the tuition was only 610 Euro for one month! Not bad compared to other schools, I also stayed on campus and that was an additional 328 Euro. (about $1400US, cheaper when I went due to exchange rates) They also took us on 2 excursions (about $300 each) to Paris and to Loire Valley (which I missed to go to Nice instead). Dijon is about 2 hours south east of Charles De Gaulle airport by train. The University was nice because there were students there from all around the world, classes were about 3-4 hours a day and we had the weekends to ourselves. The town is small, but it's really nice. There was plenty of shopping and places to eat. You are close to Germany and Switzerland too. You can also take day trips to Paris since it's so close, student in my group would go to shop for a day then come back. I looked through the book and didn't see any GPA requirements, which makes sense because you are directly enrolled into the school, you get a student ID and everything. You can eat on campus so food can get a little expensive if you venture out for lunch or dinner. But good luck, if you have any questions email me. I included a link to the programs website...Check it out there is a lot of info! :) -Jake Ps. Click on the PDF file on the bottom left and you can view the program booklet

There are several ways to do this quite cheaply. The obvious is to write a letter to the last address you had. You could also contact the exchange program and see if they still have them on a mailing list. As for your phone ... you can get a phone card, which will only cost you a few cents a minute. They are available almost anywhere. If you have a high speed internet connection, consider signing up for Skype. You can call any phone in Europe for about 2 cents/minute. If you call to another computer, it's free. You might also look for your family on the internet -- MSN, Skype, Face Book, Myspace, etc. I was able to find one of my "kids" that I had lost touch with on Facebook. Good luck to you and I hope you can reestablish the connection!

There are a number of things you neglect to mention... is this to be an educational trip? What are the ages of the students? There are a lot of factors to choosing a touring company. Personally, I think the best way to see any country in Europe is by bicycle touring. VBT does group bicycle tours, and they have good guides but will your group have it's own adult with them? The size of the group is also a factor as some tour groups do small groups, some large groups and some have self tours that are more reasonably priced. Doing a Blingo.com search for student tours of France comes up with many companies for you to inquire with as to their educational tours and I am sure they would be happy to answer questions about what they will and will not provide and the costs involved. You can also contact the BBB about any company that you are considering to find out if they have had complaints, if they are listed with the BBB, and usually doing a search of a given company name will come up with not only the companies web site, but any rants against them or tales of warning.
