blog for students interested in studying abroad, with questions and stories

Hi all~

I know we all use this blog to talk with each other about stuff, but I had an idea: what if we start a blog for the students who are interested in studying abroad, a means of putting our stories of adventure out there, maybe with a picture or two. Sort of like advising, but online. We could talk about aspect of our programs, or stories of our travels, and I thought it'd be a good way for us to share stories not only with potential EAP-ers, but also with each other, since we only see each other maybe an average of twice a week.

For example.
