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

[funkymusicians]

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?

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.

England, Oxford is great

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.
