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

    • When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays 
    • 9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
    • So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
