View schoolStudying in the USA from Italy — FAQ
- How do students from Italy study in the USA on an F-1 visa?
- A Italian student chooses an SEVP-certified U.S. school, is accepted and issued a Form I-20, applies for an F-1 student visa at the U.S. embassy or consulate, and is matched with a host family and local coordinator before traveling to begin studies.
- How much does it cost for a Italian student to attend a U.S. high school?
- Cost varies by school, region, and program. XportEdu shows the full net price for each placement — tuition plus host-family, coordinator, and program fees — so families in Italy can compare the real all-in cost up front.
- Do Italian students need to speak English to study in the USA?
- Each school sets its own English requirements. Many offer ESL or English-support programs for international students, and school profiles list any required English level so Italian families can find the right fit.
- Can a Italian student live with an American host family?
- Yes. Most F-1 high-school students from Italy live with a screened American host family arranged and supervised by a local coordinator — a core part of the U.S. study-abroad experience.
