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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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 c**p 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

Answer 2

I don't think so, your first year is mostly that "get to know you" c**p, 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!

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!
