What mobile internet options are there in Italy

What mobile internet options are there in Italy?
My daughter is currently studying abroad in Italy, but where she lives there is no internet available. She can only get it in school. What options does she have to get the internet? Does anyone know of a company that she could use? She has a notebook computer.

She could get a prepaid sim car of a company named "Vodafone"; then she could connect the mobile phone on the notebook and surf the web. This company is one of the less expensives for internet because you have to recharge the sim with 25 euros monthly and you can surf 200 hours per month for free; also other companies offer this service but it's more expensive. Hope it helped!

Wind also do a good offer for about 20/25 euros per month, you connect a usb cable from phone to computer. I did this with Vodafone, but i heard you get more minutes with wind. Wind though doesn't have a good signal everywhere, whereas Vodafone does. Also try TIM. She needs to go into a shop and ask advice, because if the area is not covered by UMTS or GPRS it will be hard to get internet and also very slow. Tell her to visit a Vodafone shop and they will be able to give her advice.

what are the risks and benefits of studying abroad

what are the risks and benefits of studying abroad?
i live in America [New Jersey] and i have considered leaving the country for college. i think it would be an amazing experience. i got a letter from a school in Switzerland, just like one of those letters that colleges always send Sophomores and Juniors. I also got one from a cooking school in Siena, Italy. i think it would be cool to study in Europe. what are the risk and benefits i dont care what my parents say. i'll be 18 july 2010 and i want to start school sept 2010 so i'll be an adult and theres nothing they can do about it. & i really like the idea of studying in switzerland. its right in the center. i mean north of italy south of germany east of france. i always wanted to go to Germany, Ireland, Italy, England, France, Spain, Australia, and Canada

DO IT DO IT DO IT. I only studied abroad for six weeks, but it was really interesting--I got to learn about other cultures, meet a lot of interesting people, and got bit by the travel bug--I want to go everywhere now! It's good for people to study abroad--reduces cultural misunderstanding, etc. It also made me a less anxious person. If there are risks, well, there are risks everywhere, and they're worth taking in this case. DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT.

I was an exchange student in Thailand, and it was amazing. I am 100% glad I did it. Risks: - Make sure the school is accredited and your school will accept transfer credits (if you care about that) - It can be hard to learn the language - If you don't step out of your comfort zone, it could be hard to make friends - Your safety could be a risk (just do research before you go, make sure you're going with a reputable program, and be careful) - It could be more expensive than you think (make sure you have a complete budget and you understand all the costs up front) - It might take some convincing to get your parents to agree to it Benefits: - You will gain experiences and learning that you could never gain in a U.S. classroom - You will gain a new appreciation and understanding of other cultures and languages - You will be more well-rounded and probably more marketable to future employers - You will have opportunities that you may never have again - travel, etc. - You can make life-long friendships, and possibly even meet your future spouse (I did!) Good luck!

I doubt it. I believe all the credits you get there will be transferred to where you live.
2 :
Talk to your counselor and your program because not all credits will transfer. Some countries it's harder to transfer credits from and it is different with every program and even every abroad school. It's different for every program/person so you should talk with those people about this before hand.

Medical School Certification in Romania or Any Other EU Eastern European Country?
If I graduate and get certified in a Romania or other EU eastern european medical school (Czech Republic, Slovenia, Poland, or Hungry) will I be able to practice in any EU country (Ex. France, Italy or Spain)? Also, can you recommend any good schools in the mentioned countries? I heard that once you are certified in any EU member country that you can practice in any country.

hy, your romanian certificate of medical school is available in EU only if you have initiate the university of medicine after the year 2003 . If you have initiated befor 2003 it is not valid, you have to repet some exams of the 6th year .It is valid if you have more then 2 years ( i think)of experiace.
