About this site

Abroad Reviews was formed in March 2007, in an attempt to help reform the abroad program industry. Since then, it has grown exponentially, helping people select only the best abroad programs to travel with.

.
Reviews
Reviews are submitted by visitors yourself. You can Post a Review on any program you have used.

.
Posting Rules: We want to keep the reviews at a decent quality, which is why we have a few posting rules:

• You have used the program. - We only accept reviews that are posted based on your own personal experiences, not hearsay from others.

• Use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. - Reviews that do not make sense will be deleted.

• No swearing. - This is a family-friendly site, so curse words will not be allowed.

When you post a review, it is published immediately, without having to be approved by a moderator. However, if any visitor finds it to be inappropriate, they have the option of flagging down, pending moderator review and approval.

.
Users
Registration is required for all interactions with the site.

.
Flagging
Since reviews are published without being reviewed, we rely on the visitors to help flag inappropriate reviews. When you flag a review, it is highlighted for a moderator to review. The moderator reads the review and either approves or deletes it. Once a moderator approves a review, it is not available to be flagged anymore.

.
Replies
Replies are published after being submitted.

Replies are to be used to:

• Request further details or clarification on a specific review.

• Agree or disagree with the review.

• Warn others of a potentially biased review.

To post a reply, simply click the "Reply" link at the bottom-right of any comment.
