Need advice for colleges - international student please help or vote

Hello to everyone. I hope you guys can help me out a bit on this. I am Portuguese and am currently attending college at a national college. In Europe we have what we call the ERASMUS program, which provides all students to study abroad within EU. My college has something similar besides the ERASMUS, and has some protocols with US colleges and other colleges around the world.

But I am in doubt, which would you guys advise ? My doubts are Prague (Czech Republic), Budapest (Hungary), USA (either Delaware University or Atlantic University in Florida - never heard of this last one is it any good?) or at last Macquarie University in Australia, I don't know if it's in Sidney or Port Macquarie.

I am 20 years old and am studying Business and Management and I intend to pursue the Stock Market career as a broker or a portfolio manager. I love tennis and surfing as well.

The things that attract me in either Budapest and Prague are the good things I hear about them, good academic environment, it's cheap, and I hear there are hot chicks too ahaha.

United States on the other hand, I already attended High School in a small town in PA my Senior year. I've always loved US, I think it's a country that provides many opportunities, the environment in colleges I think it's great and the way you guys live with sports in college (which I love), education and prestige he's good, and is the right spot if I want to pursue the stock management thing, I'll be at the heart of the global economy pretty much. And I hear there are hot chicks as well

Australia... oh well, my views of Australia although may be wrong but it is what I think of them, it has the pros of US but a better and higher quality in life style, lots of amusements, I imagine it as if it was Canada but with lots of fun in it I may be wrong though. I don't know much about Macquarie University but it appears to be a good place to study, surfing, beaches, etc.

I am really in doubt on what to apply so please provide some guru advice eehhe Best Regards

Are you interested in going to Delaware State University or University of Delaware. I know they have have an excellent Business and Economics Department at UD. My brother went to Delaware State University.

I think it's University of Delaware this is what is written at my college website :

"USA Florida Atlantic University http://www.fau.edu/
USA University of Delaware http://www.udel.edu/ "

any other commens or opinions are welcome...

The truth is you can get a good undergraduate education at a lot of places. Just check out the faculty in your area in each of these schools, and choose the situation you like best. Picking a good graduate school is generally more important than where you got your undergraduate degree.

Sorry I can't be of more specific help. My area is history, not business. For example, the only thing I know about Macquarie University is John Dickson is there (Dept of Ancient History, emphasis on Christianity and religious history)

Thanks for your opinion... I am still getting I guess what you call Bachelor degree(4 years college) This is just an exchange program for a period of 1 year, i just wanted to gather information so I can make a decision where to go since for me all those options are appealing...

I know nothing of FAU except florida has warmer weather in the winter.

Alot of poeple i graduated High school with went to U of Delaware. The area is nice, and is a pretty short commute to get to NYC for you know wall street and stuff. And yes there are tons of hot chics that go to delaware, and tons of regular chics as well. according to my friend there were 5 times more female students than males.

Surfing wont happen in Delaware, and is not even that great in Florida.

Im not going to even act like I know about Prague, Budapest, or AUS. But I always wated to go to australia because i pretty much think it is how you described (not sure though its just what I think)

thanks for your input. Yes I know the East Coast for waves ain't that good. As a rule, swells from East to West don't behave so orderly as swells from westo to East.

I'm leaning towards Univ. of Delaware it looks nice enough, but Australia is appealing too. I think I may go work during this summer to New York City so if I get the chance I'll tour down to Delaware and probably visit the campus.

As of Macquarie University I still don't get it... is it placed in Sidney or Port Macquarie ? And yes that's my opinion as well of Australia but I may be wrong, probably some Australian people can give us some input here, it'd be appreciated.

thanks everyone for their input so far...
