It's been my experience in Europe that the buses are never on time unless you're running late for one. Otherwise you're standing on a sidewalk for half an hour, so bring a book either hard copy or on your phone with you.
ive been watching your italy vlogs and now i can safely say im a fan, you have such a fresh and positive attitude about life. im introverted myself and i decided to study abroad to italy this summer w my cc and have been binging vlogs to plan. the trip has been making me nervous but your vlogs content and your personality made it worthwhile and put me at ease
You're the best! I'm very excited for you. Learn how their transportation works first. That way you'll never feel lost to the extent that you'll be in danger. I got very nervous one Sunday when I didn't know the trams were on a different schedule and couldn't find a cab. other than that, everything felt very safe. Have the best time!!!
I have always wanted to travel to New places and to see the world because at the end of the day life is short and you should enjoy it and after watching Luca travel to Rome and I have a new found excitement for traveling :)
Your every video of Italy was impressive ❤️ you captured and showed us every beautiful scenic happy fantasy fantastic moments of Italy 👍🏻🌟, Friend like you is hard to find in this world, AWESOME BEAUTIFUL SHINY GORGEOUS ITALY'S VIDEO 🌸🍁💟U
Thank you so so much for this advice! I’m pescatarian also and I love to be active, so this was valuable information to know! I’m obsessed with Italy and am looking into studying abroad there :)
girlll as an italian that lives in milano and who travels often to roma i can 100% agree with you that transportation there IS HORRIFIC. In milan buses,trams,subways run every every 5 minutes max. It's excellent service, but roma...ehhhh 😱
When you want a bus to stop for you or your hailing a cab, put your arm up and say Eeeeeeeeee! A Vespa is also a cool way to get around the city. I'm assuming when you visited the Villa Borghese you didn't go into the Flaminian Quarter north of it. I wanted your review on the Ristorante Cuccurucu. Is there a Euro Final video, at the Piazza del Popolo coming, anyone wear a Giorgio Chiellini novelty nose?
when u say the grocery stores are small, you must mean in the centre. if you go outside the cities a bit, the big coops are some of the biggest supermarkets i’ve ever seen!
Big stores are present and there are a lot of them, but never in the city center. In the downtown there are only little groceries, and that's good as it is
Hello Luca, I really enjoy all your videos they are all inspiring and you are looking stunningly gorgeous. You provided wonderful information about your trip that is helpful. Do you plan to go back and live there in the near future??? Great to see in a relaxed environment, your smile as bright as the sun.
When do people typically study abroad? I’m a senior in high school this year, and I’ve always dreamed of going to Italy, but frankly the whole idea of it kinda scares me and I’ve already been accepted to colleges for the fall semester and I don’t want to back out of them now. I don’t think it’s a good idea to just take a random impulse and go study abroad right now, but I want to so bad.
Lots of colleges have study abroad programs. I am a Junior in college right now and I’ll be studying abroad next semester. You can always do it before you graduate college
I would definitely look into study abroad programs through your school. I’m planning on studying in Florence for a semester of my junior year through my school
Thanks so much! I would bring jeans/pants and a myriad of long sleeve layers that you can mix and match. Of course a warm coat and maybe boots if you have them. Too chilly for skirts. Need comfortable shoes so maybe a trainer of sorts. Buy accessories there to mix t all up😘
Okay hold up, if you consider 100€ expensive for a gym, how much do you actually have to pay in the US? As I'm from Europe, that's a pretty normal price to pay, especially in big cities
I actually studied abroad for 4/5 months in Canada and it was the best experience ever ❤️😊 you don't have water fountains in the us? But I saw and used something like that in public buildings as I went to the us in 2016 ?😃😀 i mean it was not a Fontaine fountain but you could get drink water there for free
if you're going sightseeing somewhere nice and has a beautiful view is it better to go when the sun is about to go down like you said it's really hot considering it can drain your day or it's better to do it first thing in the morning?
i‘m literally moving to Venice in 3 days for erasmus. Idk why i‘m so scared, i grew up in switzerland and since my dad is Italian, i went there like every other holiday. BUT NOW I‘M SUDDENLY TERRIFIED TO GO!? What if my wallet gets stolen? What if my roommates hate me? :D (I’m an overthinker)
I have a friend that did that. She studied strictly at EF Education First to learn Italian and then went to university. You would have to research all of the colleges in Italy first and figure out which fits your needs. For now I would work on language as much as possible
so can i go to school in Italy and it can be a school for people who speak English???? (ik that you would have to learn italian at one point ) sorry if this sounds dumb i just never hear anyone talk about it i would love if i can get a response !
I went to EF which is a language learning school. I had class for a few hours a day and for 5 days a week. I was there to learn to speak Italian. I met students who were American and were studying on campuses in Italy that their college was affiliated with. In that case they were taking courses other than language and I think it may have been in English but I'm not sure:)
Hi🥺I’m studying in rome right now it’s my first time and first month and I’m a lil anxious because I’m studying in italian and I have some probs with the language and I’m afraid this could be an disadvantage for me in my studies😭did the same thing happened to you and if yes how did u managed🥺💜thank u
I applaud your bravery. First of all, you already achieved a lot taking this HUGE leap of faith. I was in a different position. I was there to only study Italian. This is what I suggest, focus on how the universe is conspiring in your favor. Feel the feeling of how good it will be when you are successful in your course of study. Go about your work to the best of your ability knowing that in the end, miraculously you are successful. Work hard and have faith. Be grateful for the amazing opportunity and KNOW that you are going to be successful.....Pls report back to me🤗xoxo
@@itslucawhitaker awww thank you so so much I really appreciate it you’re so kind thank you so much for your words I wish you the best of this world 🥺❤️❤️❤️and I’m studying medicine btw😅💜
EF is a language school. You don't leave with a degree but I think you can test for fluency. You don't have to stay for a priod of time determined by someone else. If you want to study for 6 weeks or 2 weeks, it's up to you
i bought it there but i have read you can buy them or order them here before you go. also my phone i've learned has a dual sim card option so i could have actually had both.
You're White so i cannot ask you if you have ever faced racism but i have heared a lot about blatant rudeness and racist behaviour of people, have you ever heard such things from your friends which you can share please ?! ( Don't want to judge Italians and i know not all are same but i rather prefer to have information )🙏😊
hi!! so did you go to a school in italy or a study abroad program thru a uni in the US? i’m super interested in going to college in Italy but i’ve heard the school system is really broken there (i mean it is here too, but…) so i’ve considered instead going to school here in the US and just doing a study abroad program to Italy thru the US school. do you or anyone who has knowledge on this have advice for me? thanks sm 🫶🏼
Did people use backpacks or totes as a school bag? I'm nervous to use my backpack (I'm going to be abroad in Milan!) because I don't want to get pickpocketed and am thinking of getting a tote?
Yes! I felt really safe. You will be great. Be smart about where you go and try to travel with a friend if you can and learn how to use the public transportation. learn how to get a taxi for when you need to get a ride and are not comfortable waiting for a tram or a bus. Have fun!!!
You’re one of the happiest persons I’ve observed... spiritually, physically, intellectually, relationships, emotions... nice balance
That is such an incredible complement. Thank you!
luca inspired me to study abroad in the future, ur italy vlogs were the best to watch❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay! Thank you! I hope you have an incredible experience
I loved your Italy vlogs! You’ve really inspired me to continue learning french so I can study/have a placement in Paris when I’m in uni :)
You can do it! Paris would be an incredible experience and I agree it would help a lot to be learning the language in France.
It's been my experience in Europe that the buses are never on time unless you're running late for one. Otherwise you're standing on a sidewalk for half an hour, so bring a book either hard copy or on your phone with you.
So true!
This is so helpful! I fly to Rome in about a month for an entire semester abroad. Thank you Luca!
Glad it was helpful! Have the best time!!!
I'm from Rome so if I can help you somehow, I am available for info or tips😉
Hi what study abroad program did you join in rome! I want to possibly do abroad too and want to know the best options. :)
I’m going to study in Rome in a month so I’ve loved these thank you
Wow! You are going to have a great time but be warned it's warm🤗
Wow, bravo Luca! sounds like the experience of a life time, and you learned so much
Yes it was!

I am living in my comfort zone coz of some family responsibilities and families wellness 🙏🌟💐
sounds like a smart plan
girlll as an italian that lives in milano and who travels often to roma i can 100% agree with you that transportation there IS HORRIFIC. In milan buses,trams,subways run every every 5 minutes max. It's excellent service, but roma...ehhhh 😱
Wow that is good to know. i have never been to Milan but would love to visit
yesss i lived in milano and the transportation is so great!
thankyou luca!! i'm going to rome next february for four months and this was very helpful x
Good luck!! You will have an amazing time. Thinking of returning in December myself
@@itslucawhitaker thankyou! and that would be so cool for you! how long are you planning to stay there?
i am traveling to italy with EF! wohoooo!! this video literally motivated me to sign up!
Just speaking with me watching her and in my brain I said how can a person be in this beautiful
Maybe I am not going to forget this 😀 and I also love traveling and I will always support you 👍👌😂 keep moving 😂👍
Thank you so much🤗

Who else is Looking forward for this video 😍😍😍👍👍
you remind me of sabrina carpenter !! much love
Italian here. I'm always in a rush 😂 We work and have lot of problems/stress too Luca😁 Too bad we didn't meet, you seem a nice person and very cute😉
when u say the grocery stores are small, you must mean in the centre. if you go outside the cities a bit, the big coops are some of the biggest supermarkets i’ve ever seen!
i never made it that far😊but hope to in the future
I took the step to study abroad a few years ago and it was the best choice I’ve ever made.
Thanks for sharing that. I hope lots of people will be inspired.
Big stores are present and there are a lot of them, but never in the city center. In the downtown there are only little groceries, and that's good as it is
I'll take it:)
I loved this video!!🥰
Thank you!!
Hello Luca, I really enjoy all your videos they are all inspiring and you are looking stunningly gorgeous. You provided wonderful information about your trip that is helpful. Do you plan to go back and live there in the near future??? Great to see in a relaxed environment, your smile as bright as the sun.
Thank you so much! I would love to live in Italy but first I need an internship and then a job but that is my plan
Small correction, “coperto” is not the equivalent of a tip because, unlike tips, “coperto” goes straight to the pockets of the restaurant owner
I want to move to Italy to study nursing and have no clue where to start but I'll get there
I leave tmr for my study abroad in Florence Italy!!
Wow! You will have a blast. Be careful, meet lots of people and have a blast
Wishing I could travel that far from Oklahoma!
Unfortunately with all my medical issues that is impossible

Hi luca! My birthday is this Friday!
Happy Birthday in advance! My Dad's birthday is in August too.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to just take a random impulse and go study abroad right now, but I want to so bad.
How about just a few months in the summer before you start school. I went with EF and it was great
Lots of colleges have study abroad programs. I am a Junior in college right now and I’ll be studying abroad next semester. You can always do it before you graduate college
Girl same I want to but I’m scared. Let’s do it together!!
Maybe look for some exchange programs for 2nd or 3 rd year of college
I would definitely look into study abroad programs through your school. I’m planning on studying in Florence for a semester of my junior year through my school
I’m studying abroad in Florence next January, any tips on what to wear or how to dress specifically? btw I love your videos💕
Thanks so much! I would bring jeans/pants and a myriad of long sleeve layers that you can mix and match. Of course a warm coat and maybe boots if you have them. Too chilly for skirts. Need comfortable shoes so maybe a trainer of sorts. Buy accessories there to mix t all up😘
Luca can I carry your suitcase when you go on holiday again?💖💖
I wish I could take everyone along
I wanna study aboard in Rome!
10:00 I’m a Floridian, we never slow down 😭😭😭
Okay hold up, if you consider 100€ expensive for a gym, how much do you actually have to pay in the US? As I'm from Europe, that's a pretty normal price to pay, especially in big cities
I have a membership but for my whole family it's about 40.00 dollars and it's a huge gym with a ton of locations all over the US
I am eligible for a dual citizenship with Italy and I have family there so I should honestly look into studying there lol
I certainly would!!!
I actually studied abroad for 4/5 months in Canada and it was the best experience ever ❤️😊 you don't have water fountains in the us? But I saw and used something like that in public buildings as I went to the us in 2016 ?😃😀 i mean it was not a Fontaine fountain but you could get drink water there for free
hmm....i haven't seen fountains in the US like they have in Italy😊
@@itslucawhitaker I guess they weren't like in Italy but I saw something where you could get water 😄
@@EvaAntonia1 I definitely saw them in D.C.!
Did you have fun in Rome???? Your were having so much fun and happy in Rome.
yes, im actually trying to squeeze another trip in😂
if you're going sightseeing somewhere nice and has a beautiful view is it better to go when the sun is about to go down like you said it's really hot considering it can drain your day or it's better to do it first thing in the morning?
Yes, it really helps in the heat.
i‘m literally moving to Venice in 3 days for erasmus. Idk why i‘m so scared, i grew up in switzerland and since my dad is Italian, i went there like every other holiday. BUT NOW I‘M SUDDENLY TERRIFIED TO GO!? What if my wallet gets stolen? What if my roommates hate me? :D (I’m an overthinker)
You so cute i like your smile hair
Amazing Video i enjoy very fun Love 💖 Looks awesome you are so pretty beautiful stunning Queen Love intressting
how many hours of studying did you have approximately in a day?
the average was 4 but it varied. Some days 6 and the next 2. I kept busy with other students I met so that was great.
Hi! I I’m in 11th grade and I live in Greece. I wanna study psychology in Italy. How can I get in to university? What do I need to do?❤️
I have a friend that did that. She studied strictly at EF Education First to learn Italian and then went to university. You would have to research all of the colleges in Italy first and figure out which fits your needs. For now I would work on language as much as possible
there are proper grocery stores outside of central Rome
Next time perhaps I will venture out
I NEED to know where this top is from!!
Princess Polly:)
We're you working as a student? I will be in Rome for studies by October, but I wish to have a part-time as a student.
i was not working and i'm not sure how the working visa works. good luck with that!!!
i live in argentina and it’s literally the same that u described it was in italy lmaoo
I would love to visit Argentina
Love you 😍

Do you know about how to apply for a credit card in italy as a international student... if so can you do a video on it plzz
yikes i am sorry that i did not do. I used my cc from home

Canada would be beautiful
Is EF like college ? I didn’t graduate high school but would still love to go abroad to study a language
EF is a language school. You don't leave with a degree but I think you can test for fluency. You don't have to stay for a priod of time determined by someone else. If you want to study for 6 weeks or 2 weeks, it's up to you
I want to come italy for study,is this a good decision??
I think it's a great decision. I went this summer and I just arrived back in Milan this morning.
🙌🏻 🇮🇹
love,love,love Italy!
Hey! Did u have an option for studying in english?
My school was a language school only so everyone is Italy was studying Italian. It was EF.
Did you buy a new SIM card in Italy or was there a way for you to buy it beforehand?
i bought it there but i have read you can buy them or order them here before you go. also my phone i've learned has a dual sim card option so i could have actually had both.
Hello! Is the covid vaccines required?
It is required for different things here. I am not required to have it but I do have it. I got it when it first came out.
Love you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤗🤗🤗
Hello🌼
Hello 😊
@@itslucawhitaker thank you you're very beautiful 🥰
How old were you when you went?
I am 19
what about the actual college?
I go to actual college in Atlanta. I was studying Italian in Rome😊
@@itslucawhitaker thanks but i mean like how was the experience and how hard it was etc..
Luca here in Italy is a boy name .
Ayoo my name’s Luca
There aren't too many female Luca
You're White so i cannot ask you if you have ever faced racism but i have heared a lot about blatant rudeness and racist behaviour of people, have you ever heard such things from your friends which you can share please ?!
( Don't want to judge Italians and i know not all are same but i rather prefer to have information )🙏😊
hi!! so did you go to a school in italy or a study abroad program thru a uni in the US?
i’m super interested in going to college in Italy but i’ve heard the school system is really broken there (i mean it is here too, but…) so i’ve considered instead going to school here in the US and just doing a study abroad program to Italy thru the US school.
do you or anyone who has knowledge on this have advice for me? thanks sm 🫶🏼
Did people use backpacks or totes as a school bag? I'm nervous to use my backpack (I'm going to be abroad in Milan!) because I don't want to get pickpocketed and am thinking of getting a tote?
Did you feel safe walking around?🥲 I leave to study abroad in less than 2 weeks and I’m super scared for that
Yes! I felt really safe. You will be great. Be smart about where you go and try to travel with a friend if you can and learn how to use the public transportation. learn how to get a taxi for when you need to get a ride and are not comfortable waiting for a tram or a bus. Have fun!!!
