I am going to Italy for a 2 month study abroad program this summer. I would like to also travel to Spain and Holland during the program for short weekend visits (say 4 or 5 visits over the 2 months).
My question is--Is it cheapest to get a Eurail pass?
I have heard that many people claim that the Eurail pass is more expensive that actually paying for the tickets at the station individually. Additionally, if it is not cheaper what would a ticket cost from Florence to Amsterdam and Florence to Madrid roundtrip?

Depending on where you are from (Europe) you opt for an interrail pass (http://www.interrailnet.com/) or type interrail pass into a search engine as there are a few options out there. Most populat options are Eurail and interrail.
If you are planning on doing a few tours over 2 months it would be better to buy individual tickets. It would be best to enquire through the italian rail service -http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html.
The below website gives you the countries the italian rail travel to (you might have to chance trains to get to your final destination) and what passes they accept.

confident virtually each and every place has nighttime trains. you'll be careful especially components yet you're able to try this... it is going to shop on the hostel expenses. i might purchase a lock on your bag and a motorbike lock for the door... Dont take plenty valuables. particular trains are infamous for thefts. I went on some nighttime trains from Budapest to Belgrade and replaced into advised by the Conductor that if i fell asleep that i might get robbed. I took the curton off the compartment window tied one end to the take care of on the door and the different to the bags rack so as that no person ought to open the door. curiously, that nighttime I awoke and the curtain replaced into torn very virtually to the factor the place the door replaced into opened. curiously somebody tried to break in (and intensely virtually did). The curtain labored great till a Serbian Police guy have been given annoyed and commenced screaming at me. yet i might propose this in case you ought to till somebody tells you you cant. extra effectual than the curtain could be to get an prolonged bicycle lock or chain to fasten the compartment door so it cant be opened. this could be the only time i might sleep on the nighttime prepare. I quite have heard some thoughts approximately people who use a particular gasoline to put in the compartment that nocks you chilly, then they thieve all your stuff. (I hear this occurs in Poland and different jap countries) yet i replaced into on between the main deadly prepare lines in Europe and did no longer have an issue (even on the previously whilst i could no longer use the curtain). on the previously i replaced into too afraid to attempt to fasten the cabin and to nod off, so I stayed up all nighttime. i spotted men strolling to and fro finding for the period of the cubicles for persons who have been slumbering. So particular you're able to do it, yet be careful in case you have a chum take turns slumbering and consistently have one individual stay unsleeping. (it extremely is what i choose to propose). in basic terms dont make acquaintances with people on the prepare to observe your stuff (because of the fact frequently they are the single that attempt to rob you). fairly be very careful yet you're able to do it. i do no longer prefer to scare you with the gasoline ingredient or the rest. I quite have been to very virtually each and every ecu united states of america. I actually think of that maximum are safer than any huge city in the US (even Serbia). Be smart and conscious and additionally you would be high quality. stable good fortune and chuffed travels. in case you have any questions you are able to digital mail me

Consult your travel agent.
In the past, purchase of train tickets in the US was cheapest.
