So I'm from the US and I want to see Europe for like 6 or so months

Are you saying that I would have to work or either go to school for them to let me stay in Europe more then 90 days?

Those are valid options on trying to obtain a visa. I recommend you do some research at google on obtaining a visa, or contacting the US state dept and the embassy of the country you wish to get a visa from. (I think you can get a visa for say Spain, and then travel freely throughout the entire EU without any problems past the 90 day no visa exemption.)

One problem you may encounter is some difficulty in getting a visa now as a result of how difficult our lovely government has made it for the rest of the world to obtain a US visa. Eye for and eye and all.

Also, do you plan on staying in hostels and traveling around, or do you want to rent an apatment for say 4 months and then spend the last 2 months hosteling.

Europe,is expensive,take this into account.
Consider a Eurorail pass which will give you options freely and decide on which country after you have visited a few.
Also if you plan on playing poker Italy is not a wise choice.

Okay, I thought we weren't allowed to talk about poker, but say I did play that game, and that game has allowed me to hence to take this trip. Where would be a place to go for an extended period of time, while still being allowed to do all the activities i say my do in front of my computer at home.
