Travel Abroad to Italy

I am a student in college, majoring in history, and trying to become fluent in Italian. I have no one to talk in Italian with here at home, so I want to go to Italy so that I can study abroad there, attain the experience of a different culture, and become fluent in Italian. As a history student, I would benefit much from going to Italy, as Italy is the heart of the Roman Empire, as well as the center of the Renaissance. I appreciate greatly any donations anyone is willing to offer,  and I will be truly grateful.
