Decide on a program of study. Different universities in Italy will offer different concentrations. Choose what you would like to study and select a university that will be a good fit for you. You can search online or speak with your school counselor for the best choice.
Request an application from the college of your choice or apply with an organization that links students with host families such as Go Abroad. You can also download an application from college websites.
Fill out the application and enclose any application fees.
Request your high school or college transcripts to be sent to the college in Italy. Contact your current counselor or registrar for transcript requests or fees that must be paid to have the transcript sent.
Wait for an acceptance into the program. Once you gain your acceptance letter you will be given information on how to register for classes and when you should report to class.
Apply for a passport if you do not have one. Fill out an application at your local post office. Have two passport photos taken. You must also provide proof of citizenship, such as a driver's license and birth certificate. Pay your application fees and submit the application. It can take four to six weeks to get your passport so plan in advance.
Book your flight on an airline to arrive a few days before classes begin. This will give you time to get settled in and find your way around. Most schools will provide you with a move in date.
