I think each University has its own exchange agreement with the other Universities. I'm a student at the University of Oslo and we have to accomplish two semesters (minimum 60 points) before we can go. I'm not exactly sure, though, but the rules are something like that. I'll go to Italy as part of a three-year bachelor degree and spend my entire third year there.

That's Italy too. You need to be able to use the culture to your benefits.
Stephan. What are you studying right now? Where and in which grade?
I'm not familiar with EF, but Erasmus is just an exchange agreement between 100s of European universities. This basically means that unis can send their student to any of the unis they have an agreement with, and must accept foreign students from these unis.
Each university has it's own requirements, so check out yours.
As for accomodation, programs and so on, it's the receiving uni that'll take care of it. I've been told that small unis take a lot of care of their foreign students, becuase they want to increase their reputation, while big unis let the student sort it out themselves, which isn't a bad thing.
Here in Berlin, for example, I could apply for a student residence, but it's very far away from the centre, and I heard it sucked. So, I decided to find housing myself. It was freaking hard, but it's a great experience.
What I would advise you, is to do themost things on your own. Find a housing with local students (shared appartments, ...), get in touch with locals, experience their culture as much as possible. You'll learn a lot more than just by studying in your books...

I plan to go to Bologna as that's the only university to which the University of Antwerp wants to send history students. Well, Bologna and Padova, but seriously, I don't want to go to Padova. Sorry Pado .
.
well as i said, i am thinking about future, i am not studyng currently, i am working. The main thing is also that i am actually looking to study the language itself, not history or literature or what ever else, although i understand that it can all be useful and etc.
Secondly, my education interests concern theatre and theatre history, so i dont really know how i could start studyng for example part of shakespeare play in italy, when i would go there and wouldnt know nothing about the language yet.

Also: (at least in the South) it's normal for parents to send professors gifts right before exam weeks and things like that. Studying is relatively important, but not nearly as important as the general impression you make.
For your sake I hope your social skills are in order.
Oh I'm fluent. My current boss actually partially hired me because my Italian is so good.
Yes I had studied Italian before I went there, on my university in The Hague. I would say I knew the basics, the grammar, and I was capable of maintaining a decent conversation in official Italian. But when I went there my vocabulary massively increased, I learned the Italian way of speaking Italian rather than the "book way" and I managed to understand heavy local dialects. I would say I booked enormous progress just from living there.

Does anyone know about studying abroad in Europe for students from the States? I guess I should get into college first [my last year of high school], but it seems like I'd have to start making plans soon since I'd need to take a lot of language courses before the college would let me go abroad. Where is it easier/more interesting to live...what universities are decent academically...what languages are useful? Thanks for any advice in advance.
