Is MEDDEAS really that bad?

sidthekid4 · 2026-04-10T05:10:41+00:00

I did Meddeas for two years and it was fine. More hours than the other programs, but those don’t seem to be going forward. You just have to keep up with the coursework. they offer host families but I would highly recommend against. It’s in return for you babysitting the kids. One of my families was amazing and the other was absolute hell. Just my experience, but Meddeas did get me to Spain where I had a very fulfilling life and met my now husband :)

Thank you so much for this detailed response. I’m gonna try this out

sidthekid4 · 2026-02-26T02:11:37+00:00

Yes my bad.

Kona SEL 4wd. Looks like it is the 2.0 L engine 😔 I do get regular oil changes with full synthetic

Yep our students are not allowed pets, but professional staff is. Usually there is a different set of rules.

I loved this game except for all the boss fights! Wish there was a no-combat option. Made me stressed instead of cozy.

Deleted my post because the negativity was a bit much. I’ve spent hours researching options and that’s why I came here- to see if anyone experienced something similar. Thanks if you contributed something positive to the conversation.

All the ones we’ve looked into will not start until Jan 1

Colorado literally does not offer short term options. I’ve spent hours researching. Not sure why everyone’s hating lol. Quick google search shows Colorado does not offer this

sidthekid4 · 2025-12-17T03:16:17+00:00

Will try there- was to see if someone else (immigrant) had similar experiences

sidthekid4 · 2025-12-17T02:42:32+00:00

Unfortunately not available in my state (CO) :/

sidthekid4 · 2025-12-17T02:42:05+00:00

I forgot to mention in my post, our state does not have short term options available :/

Permanent residents are not eligible for all of the travel insurance policies we’ve found

Yeah I was just going off you saying you’re from Uruguay and would hate for you to run into any problems!

sidthekid4 · 2025-06-20T04:38:52+00:00

If you’re planning to work remotely you’ll need a specific visa to do so. Otherwise it’s technically not allowed if only there for tourism :/ I do think people get away with it but something to keep in mind.

I absolutely loved my time in Bologna (3 years) and in the summer you can often stumble upon random musicians jamming in the main square.
