Seriously I recommend you go. I saw so many bad reviews about these trips on websites before I went on my trip to Italy and Greece during my junior year of high school. It was one of the best life changing things for me. A big concerns for parents were how we were allowed to walk around the city in small groups without chaperones for a little while. It's not hard to find your way around and it's totally safe. Don't get turned down by bad reviews or hotels that aren't five star ratings. I promise you it will be such a great experience for you!
Aww same here!! My school is doing a trip in June 2017 to London, Paris, Rome, and Florence and i'm going as well :) I hope you have fun on your trip too
They make such a huge deal about little things like a sign being in italian or taking their "first step on European soil". Kinda corny. No need to act like THAT tourist. "I don't know what it means but it's italian!!" ....it's a fire extinguisher love...not that difficult...
It is there first time being out of the country and most of them live in small cities. Its probably a huge deal for them because they have never experienced something like that :)
Yeah the European soil thing would probably be me because if never traveled out of the Eastern coast of the USA. And from everything i know about Rome and Italy this will be the greatest part of my whole life.
You probably don't realize how big of a deal it is for some people. A lot of the teens that go on these EF tours have never left their country before (some of them have never even left their state/province), so of course being around foreign language and 700 year old authentic artwork on a country that's 5000 miles away from your hometown, everything you've ever learn to know, is going to open your eyes and and make the experience feel like "a big deal".
