SECOND: Pick up a Rick Steves book that discusses the practical things you mention, like packing etc. AND remember, she can buy whatever she needs that she didn't pack. Clothes for class should be same as those for touring and just about anything else she does.

Debit cards fine, and if you'd like, she can buy Euros here. (AAA sells them, as do others, like Thomas Cook.)

Haven't been in a while so don't know about prices generally, but EVERY meal will be good, and quick, small places shouldn't be expensive. Sandwiches fantastic!!! and salads!

Buon viaggio!
