I’m planning on studying abroad in an upcoming semester, and I have to take a foreign language course. My two options are French and Italian. I took three years of Spanish in high school and was fairly decent; I can’t say that I remember much off the top of my head, but I remember the basic format, etc. Would it be easier, after having taken Spanish, to learn French or Italian?

Since both languages are related (they’re “romance languages,” meaning they come from Latin, spoken in Rome), both grammars are nearly identical. There are a few differences, but they’re minimal. If that’s what you’re worried about, then don’t worry. Even the words look similar when written down, so you won’t have a problem memorizing vocabulary – the only danger is getting words confused!
Spanish pronunciation is very similar to Italian, so that might be something you’re interested. French is different; they have a different “r” and vowel sounds to learn that might be tough. French spelling is also not phonetic like Spanish or Italian, so that’s kind of a pain to learn (though after awhile, you get the gist of things).
Otherwise, just take one that interests you! You’ve got a good base to build off of, so you shouldn’t run into any problems! Good luck!

I would definitely say that learning Italian would be easier.

italian deffently because so many italian words are like spanish like love is amor and stuff like that! i know they’re all romantic languages but italian is more like spanish. my father is lebanese so he speaks french, english and arabic and after moving to the us he also has been learing some spanish and he thinks it is easy while identifying with english but when i asked him about identifying it with french he laughed and said i was crazy. so this answer is from my father not me. lol

Italian is more similar to French than Spanish is.
Look at these Italian verbs:
partire
venire
mangiare
apportare
All very much like their French counterparts. For Spanish, this would only apply to venir.
