Living in Italy: Personal Reflections of a Long-Time Foreign Resident

• NB: As of early 2008, I no longer live in Italy. But I still visit there, and write about it.

If You’re Thinking of Moving to Italy…

Many foreigners dream of living in Italy, and some manage to make that dream come true – and then may find it’s not so dreamy after all. This is my personal experience of living in Italy – the good and the bad. Your mileage may vary.

Exchange Student Programs

If you are interested in coming to Italy as an exchange student (high school), here are some resources:

• Intercultura (based in Italy, does exchanges both ways)
• International Student Exchange Program

NB: I have no affiliation with these organizations and know very little about them! But they certainly know more about student exchanges in Italy than I do.
