[edit] Excessive External Links
It seems to me that there are too many external links on this page. Perhaps a seperate page, which is specifically intended to list online study abroad resources might be a suitable location for such content, but the main page is not, in my opinion. See What Wikipedia Is Not and External Links guidelines for more information -GlamdringCookies 22:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Agree completely. I could not find one single link in clear compliance with WP:EL, so I replaced the whole section with a link to the appropriate DMOZ category. For anyone who is thinking of adding a link here, please consider submitting it to DMOZ instead. Haakon 15:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Percentages
If anyone had the information regarding roughly how many students do study abroad during their academic career, that might be interesting to this article. I read once it was quite low, but I do not remember the exact number. I'll see what I can find. :) 67.164.64.40 01:28, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
http://opendoors.iienetwork.org/ publishes a report annually for a whole range of study abroad statistics. Currently, their statistic for US Students going abroad is 205,983 students -- an increase of 8% over the prior year's report. They have breakdowns for other categories as well.

[edit] European ERASMUS exchanges
Perhaps a mention of the EU's ERASMUS programme is required here, as it accounts for thousands of student exchanges each year within Europe.
[edit] People who watch Study abroad
Hey all, I was just curious about who all have this page on their watchlist. Here are the people who've made substantial edits to it, and if you've got it on your watchlist, give a holla back. The reason I'm doing this (aside from curiosity) is that I think this article is still lacking, and I want to see if we can do something about that. Study abroad is a huge part of many college students' academic careers, and it would be great if the article about it were up to par. So, holla back, so to speak. And here's the list I've got so far: GlamdringCookies, Haakon, Freakofnurture, GraemeL, Zzuuzz, Imroy, Nlu, Pavel Vozenilek, User:Henry Flower, Siroxo, DJ Clayworth, and RJFJR for the cleanup marker (from a year ago). Let's fix up this article. -GlamdringCookies 01:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expand Tag
Just added the expand tag, so hopefully this article will get worked on by more of the community at large. I feel that it only expresses a perfunctory description of something that is a large part of the experience of higher education for many students. There is much more that could be said, and overall the article is far from featured article status. Perhaps that can now change. -GlamdringCookies 00:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
