Should I go to Australia for study abroad?
Should I go to Australia for study abroad?
My school has this policy where we have to take a semester abroad. I really want to go to Argentina or Uraguay but I keep hearing horror stories about students getting abducted in South America. SO, I have been thinking about Australia, I would be going somewhere on the coast. Which is better in Australia, the West or East coast ???

Wow, you really don't know anything about Australia do you. The west coast is pretty much uninhabited, except for the state capital: Perth. Everything else, I mean everything else, is on the east coast.

Yes by all means go to Australia. I would love to go there and go camping, but not surfing with those sharks. They won't let anyone kidnap you there. They like to fight. : ) And I'd like to have a barbie with some of the locals.

Haha east coast for sure, Most of the large cities are around there. Australia is such an amazing place, Last christmas holidays I spend 4weeks staying in a town called nagambie with my Godmother just out of melbourne, one of the most beautiful relaxing places I've ever been. Or you could also try NZ, the countries rather similar but from what Ive seen its ALOT less racist than australia it was one of the big things i noticed when I went there.

Studying abroad will be one of the greatest experiences you have. Honestly, before I went abroad I had no interest. I quickly discovered my love for traveling. With regard to Argentina- any city or country you visit is going to have safety warnings. I would not write off Argentina so quickly. Visit the US Department of State's website for safety information (http://bit.ly/oY5BZ) on particular countries. I write for a new travel/study abroad website called Gulliver (http://www.gullivergo.com). The site is dedicated to helping people study overseas. Interested in Argentina? Check out these programs (http://bit.ly/xyb8x). Or check out these programs in Australia (http://bit.ly/FGmMr). Where you go also depends on what area of study you want to pursue. When you decide where you want to go, check out our Prepare to Go section (http://www.gullivergo.com/prepare-to-go) to learn about funding, housing, internet, and other tidbits for your trip. Good luck and Happy travels!
