Study-abroad students share experiences via blogs
UD students explore Turkey.
4:06 p.m., Jan. 25, 2008--For those interested in experiencing Antarctica, Turkey and several other exotic locales vicariously, blogs maintained by UD students and faculty studying abroad this Winter Session might offer inspiration.

Typically scheduled over Winter Session, the four- and five-week stays give UD students and faculty the opportunity to learn and study in foreign countries, and the blog entries written by participants provide those stuck back home a virtual passport into loved ones' adventures in exotic lands.

The following links are to blogs that are currently active.
