Is it safe to study abroad in Italy

Is it safe to study abroad in Italy?
I'm a high school student and I wanted to know if it was safe to study abroad for a month in Italy during the summer. Please do not answer if you have never been. Please don't be rude. I know there is some crime rate I believe. Oh the city I will be studying the most in is Florence if I do end up going.Thanks!

Italy has a very low rate of violent crimes among non-criminals; therefore it is very safe, provided you are not a mafioso or a drug smuggler. There is a very high crime rate for tax evasion, corruption, and drug smuggling, though. It is on the average regarding crimes against property (theft, robbery). Therefore, you'd better keep safe your valuable things.

florence is a calm city, don't be afraid. good luck

1 :
To rent the average apartment in Rome is 1000 to 2500 Euros per month (2 bedrooms). And meals are on average 30 euros per person-WITHOUT wine !! But the nightlife in Rome is expensive and spending leisure time would be prohibitively expensive to you. You would probably be better off living on the outskirts of the city where it is much cheaper and have to share to cut down costs.
2 :
living in rome is quite expensive,but you can rent a room in the centre from 500 รข‚¬ on.
3 :
its very expensive, ever since they took the euro as there currency...
4 :
I live in Rome and I can tell you that it is an expensive city and there are rentals of apartments that you can share with other kids your own age so paying less, (careful when you take a taxi or eat them at the restaurant you can also cheat seeing that you are a tourist, this summer, 2 tourists ordered 2 pasta dishes and seafood quality is not much came out that they had to pay 600 euros), but when you do the walks in the evening in different squares, the Fontana di Trevi The Colloseum, is fantastic. For more information contact me (I used google translator)

I say we become "roomates" and split the cost. What do you say? I need some change

teens: how many breaks do you get during the school year

teens: how many breaks do you get during the school year?
I get 2 days in November ( thanksgiving and Black Friday) Christmas Break Regents week in January, we're not allowed to be in school unless we have an exam to take. If not we have to be home. So the school year coming up, I get to stay home for a week and my sister has to go to school ( cause she's not in High school yet) Winter Break in February ( that's when I'm going to Italy with my school though) Spring Break. Another Regents week in June, and since I'd have no exams, no school for me again, but half the USA is out of school anyways for summer... and all of those holidays like Martin Luther King Jr day, election day, etc.. how about you? BQ- what did you have for breakfast?
