Would England or New Zealand be more beneficial for a study abroad program?

Question

I am looking into getting a combination of an English and Communications/Journalism degree. I am trying to decide which place I'd like to go for study abroad. If I go to England I would most likely go to Oxford. The other idea is New Zealand though and I've always wanted to go somewhere different than what I'm used to. Which seems more reasonable for the majors I'm looking into?

Answer 1

Do you want education or adventure? England, especially Oxford, is conservative. Its like New England. Think of Harvard University: great education, old school; cold, dark, and wet in the winter.  Now New Zealand would be different, like California. And if you go there in our winter, it will be summer there. I don't think the education will match Oxford, but the beauty and adventure should be much more. I'd vote for NZ.

Answer 2

I would go to New Zealand.  Something new, fun, exciting.  Maybe it will help you with creativity or new perspectives and stories, seeing as England is relatively similar to USA.  The education might not have the same "oooh" factor as Oxford, but that's okay.  You'll still be learning and you'll have a great time doing it.

Answer 3

Oxford will look nice on your resume but new zealand will probably be a lot of fun. Which one do you prefer?

Answer 4

One cannot understand what territory you name ‚England'; therefore one cannot answer your question ...

It is to be assumed that you mean the country, which possesses territories on all continents, the ‚United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' – briefly ‚United Kingdom'. The name ‚England’ for ‚United Kingdom' is geographical and politically not correct, because it expresses a colonialistic requirement.

The correct term ‚England' designates only a state in this country.

Answer 5

England, Oxford is great
