Semester at Sea vs. studying abroad in NZ or Australia?

Question

So I've been researching programs for studying abroad next year! I'm really interested in Semester at Sea....but had some questions about it:

-did you experience sea sickness

-what amenities did the boat have/what activities did you do when on the water?

I'm debating between studying in Dunedin, NZ, Christchurch, NZ, Cairns, Australia, and this semester at sea!!! Please anyone give me so info!

PS - I am NOT interested in living in a high paced city area when I study abroad.

Answer 1

I believe MTV has a video documenting some students and their Semester at Sea experience. I think it's worth it, but if you don't want a high paced experience, then I would suggest that you go to NZ or Australia. Research the area and see which one offers the features you are looking for.

Good luck!
