Willamette Abroad
The Willamette Abroad blogosphere comprises two entities: the Willamette Abroad Talk group blog for students studying abroad—or considering doing so—to discuss study-abroad topics and share knowledge, and a collection of individual blogs from students currently abroad. You can select a country at left to filter and link to the individual student blogs.
