England or Australia?

Sup guys. So I'll have the opportunity to study abroad next semester and the dead line to apply is soon approaching. I'm basically stuck between these two countries. I'd really like to see both of these places. In England I'd go to Kingston University(really close to London), and in Australia I'd go to Wollongong University in New South Whales.

I'd love to see London and they SAY the transportation is excellent to go all over the UK. I've got family in Ireland too. So I find it appealing that I could go to other places as well. Plus there are pubs and night life etc..

As for Australia, it's fuging Australia. The campus looks really beautiful and there would be lots of poo to do there as well. I was told that Wollongong is very outdoorsy.

So I hope it's not a stretch ask for advice on here but I think we have some Australians and English folk here too. So if anyone has been to these schools or has experience studying abroad tell me whats up

i bicycled part of the coast of australia last year... started in sydney headed for melbourne, passed through wollongong on the way. the weather was over 110 degrees fahrenheit (hottest summer in 70 years, i've never been accused of being a master of timing) so i decided to stay a few days and cool off my sunburn. and i can tell you firsthand wollongong is the poo.

ten minutes west and you're in the middle of the mountains and deserted australian bush. half an hour north you're in sydney. two hours northwest and you're in the middle of the desolate wollemi wilderness. two hours south and you're in lush australian wine and cattle country. half a day north by train and you're on the great barrier reef, which basically is like an episode of LOST. half a day west and you're in the middle of one of the largest, most desolate spaces on earth - australian desert.

england is splendid but australia offers adventure and an allur unparalleled by most countries. go. you won't regret it.

Really can't go wrong with either. Australia has great weather, sun, surf, partying etc...

England has pubs, loose women, and ease of travel.

Remember with England, you also get easy access to the rest of europe.

and this right here would seal the deal for me imo

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
