Studying Abroad

Schm · 01-27-2011, 06:56 PM

So, I'm going to study abroad next year and am trying to find a good place to do it. I am pretty proficient in spanish but am not prepared to take a full load of classes in spanish.

I'm thinking either somewhere in Australia or in Barcelona, one of my favorite cities. I want somewhere with nice weather, good nightlife and that's not so shitty like Arizona.

Any ideas, any experiences anyone would like to share?

Australia ftw. Been there 13 times and will be going back this July. Can't get enough of it. Everyone's chill and it's just a great overall clean country.

Apparently Japan is amazing too.

I can vouch for Japan. First week is a bit tough, getting used to NOT UNDERSTANDING anything, but afterwards you don't know where the time goes. Too much fun, and just too good.

What are you studying? have you already worked out which uni's you can get into?

Any questions for an Aussie?

Feyd · 01-28-2011, 10:08 AM

Hmm, I guess not really. I was thinking going to Sydney or Melborne, somewhere on the coast. I'm just sort of still at a draw here, because I really love Barcalona and it would give that "foreign country" experience, as opposed to Australia. But on the other hand, I'm not particularly likely to go to Australia in the future, as it's just too far away and I don't have 3 or 4 weeks just to go visit, so this would be an excellent opportunity to go see an amazing country and meet some really hot Australian bishes.

Thanks for the advice gents

South Africa is cool

ragingclue · 01-28-2011, 04:14 PM

There's all kinds of shit that can kill you in Australia. I've only ever been to Perth and Darwin. Perth was fun, but there were flies everywhere. Like no shit everywhere. It was terrible, but I guess it's not normally like that? Darwin was a shit hole.

I heard SE Australia, where all the people live, is actually cool as hell.

All you need to do is get a Japanese gf who doesn't speak much English and you'll pick it up quick
