BlogAbroad.com Season 7: Behind the Scenes
As a BlogAbroad Blogger, you have an unparalleled opportunity to share your study abroad experiences with both perspective students and other interested readers. You will soon find people eagerly reading your posts and responding with comments, questions, and even advice. Some of our previous bloggers had feature stories written about them in several national newspapers as well as their hometown and college papers.
Your blog can also help you stay in touch with family and friends back home, and keep them updated on your actions. Your blog will later serve as a journal and record of what you experienced abroad. It will be something you can reflect on and treasure for years to come.
