American University in Colombia?

Hello Everbody!
I have learned much about Colombia from this website. I am coming to Medellin and possibly looking to buy a small apartment there. I was curious if there happens to be a university from an accredited institution of the USA? I ask because as I have traveled in lived in many foreign countries, most have had them. I would love to attend college in Colombia to learn the language better, get my degree, and have it paid for by the US government through the GI Bill. Or even if ...

* bazucojoe where are you?

I don't believe he's posted on the site today or yesterday (I scrolled through nine pages/about 450 posts. The next time he makes these kinds of posts or threatens you via email, send a note to the moderators. This thread is now being locked to avoid the usual 'pile on' that has nothing to do with Colombia.

LASIK in Medellin....experiences?

flying to U.S. from Medellin

Hey everybody,

Now, is it hard to purchase a ticket from Medellin to the states on short notice of about 10 days? I'll probably purchase one when I arrive in the airport. And who do ...

1st time to Colombia...what do I need to do?

Hello Everybody!
This site is great and people are so helpful. I'm sure some of you will be able to help me. I will be vacationing in Colombia in June, which is a ways off, but currently work in Afghanistan so I don't have access to any consulate to do a visa. My question is, I believe you can get visas in some countries right in the airport as you arrive, or is this not correct? Do I need to go to a consulate before I even travel? I have a passport already, but don't know what else ...
