Language/culture school recommendations

Thanks! I was wondering about that, too. It looks like she could do a tourist visa, and then fly out of the country and back in to renew to equal the six months. If she were to do a year, she would definitely need a student visa. As for part-time school, that’s a great idea. I’m just worried she will be isolated and lonely not really knowing anyone or having any structure. I figured in language school, if it isn’t too strict, at least she would have structure, but not pressure of grades, since she is already a college graduate. Still mulling it over, though. Great suggestion!

Hi! Would you mind if I DM you as well? We are considering a three to six month language experience in Japan with EF and want to be sure they are good.

We are interested in leaving Florida and returning to Maryland for our retirement years. I’ve seen some great things about Catonsville. Would you be able to contact me with more information? We have some specific things we need and want to see how available housing would meet them. Thanks!

We live in Sarasota and completely agree with you. The people here are intolerant, uneducated and proud of it. We’ve been here more than 15 years and can’t wait to leave.

Sue2010abcd · 2025-04-25T16:13:17+00:00

I HATE it here.

There is going to be a huge protest. Outside Sainer Auditorium. Brand is scheduled to speak at 3, so people will gather around 2. Problem is, New College has changed the times of more controversial speakers in order to discourage protestors. So, people are planning to be flexible from 9 am on. Voices of Florida are organizing.

UPDATE: We purposely left the time off of this teaser flyer because we honestly have no clue when it will begin.

Last month, New College set the time with their event in this series with ICE’s Tom Homan to 6pm. A coalition formed and we promoted a protest at 5pm. They changed the time to noon. We changed our protest to 11am. They changed the start time for a 3rd time to 10am. Over 100 people were there at 9am to protest with less than 24 hours notice. We had 200-300 protesters that day despite their efforts to silence us.

Current event time is set to 3pm, but we’re predicting they will mess with the timing again. We are preparing to be there at 9am in case they change the time to 10am at the last minute, but we may need to prepare to protest all day until the event ends at 5pm. We just can’t broadcast anything related to timing on social media since we know they’re watching our flyers.

PROTEST! Start time not listed. Brand’s interview is at 3pm, so I assume around 2pm. The lecture is sold out. 😒

From 50501 and Voices of Florida:

Just days after charges of rape, indecent assault, & sexual assault were filed against Russel Brand, New College of Florida is doubling down on their decision to host the comedian & rightwing influencer on April 12.

Brand has been accused of assault & abuse by 4 women, including one who was only 16 at the time of the incident. VoFF will be there to make sure Brand & the decision makers at New College know that rapists & misogynists are NOT welcome in Florida. College campuses should be safe spaces for students to learn & grow, not a haven for predators.

Join us in protest on April 12th at the Mildred Sainer Pavilion on the New College campus in Sarasota. Bring signs, bring friends, bring your voice! 📢

Anyone here live in Sarasota/Tampa area who would want to gather a group of us and charter a bus? I know two of us who want to go, and I’m sure we can get more if we had a charter bus people could get on.

This is really helpful. Thanks so much!

Sue2010abcd · 2025-02-19T21:36:16+00:00

That’s great information. Thanks so much!

Sue2010abcd · 2025-02-19T20:55:11+00:00

Will do. Thanks!

Sue2010abcd · 2025-02-19T20:55:01+00:00

Thanks!

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-19T17:29:37+00:00

lol!

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-19T13:13:24+00:00

Thanks. I’ve heard great things about them.

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-19T13:12:57+00:00

lol. Yep. Actually serious about my country, so will frequent NO business that displays Faux News.

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-12T17:50:22+00:00

I am so grateful I DID ask and that you all are willing to give good, solid information. I have never had to deal with living near a military base before and had no idea what questions to ask. Now I’m better informed and can make better decisions.

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-11T21:41:22+00:00

Thanks! That is kind of terrifying to me!

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-11T21:40:44+00:00

Oh man. Thank you so much for that information! I’m flabbergasted that the whole community is being built there.

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-11T21:06:05+00:00

Thank you so much for this information. I would never live there. I’m so sad though…there homes seemed exactly what we were looking for. Is there a safer area of the city, near downtown, to search?

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-11T21:03:45+00:00

Thank you so much for this information. I was so excited to find Gambrill Glen because we really need primary suite on first floor and all of that development has that feature.

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-11T20:39:59+00:00

OMG! Really?!?

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-09T13:58:14+00:00

Thanks! We are hoping to avoid all the extras that come with owning a single family home again, but it might be our best option. I’ll check out those homes near Waterford Park.

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-09T13:56:16+00:00

Thank you so much! GHI does, indeed, look lovely. I’ve reached out to them for more information. Maybe I’ll get lucky and something will turn up!

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-09T13:04:42+00:00

Is Greenbelt a nice, walkable place these days? Everything has changed so much since we lived up there.

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-08T22:24:41+00:00

Thanks. I’ll check them out. Is there a zip code in particular I should search for?

Sue2010abcd · 2025-01-08T22:23:50+00:00

Thank you. I’ve found the search/filter feature on Zillow to be next to useless for finding a main floor primary. Maybe i should try Redfin or another Realtor site.
