I used to think that too, but considering europe's economy right now, it might be tough for students to survive up there comparing to down here.... so says my friend who's currently studying in london right now and earning only 8 pounds an hour but i am not too sure about what he say myself.

I need the only thing that i can compare btw aus and europe is the distance, cause 8 hours is definately better than 20 hours(estimate)

The European economy though having problems with sovereign debt is still robust. We are talking about some of the richest countries in the world, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway etc. Further, there are more opportunities in Europe than in Australia. That is a fact.

Survival is relative, things costs more in Australia. While one earns 8 quids an hour, a sandwich only costs about 3 pounds at M&S food. You can earn A$13 an hour but a cup of coffee on Swanston street can send you back A$6. So what is the basis of comparison here?

It takes about 7-8 hrs to fly to Melbourne, and 12-13 hrs to London. . Not too much of a difference. 20hrs of direct flight time will send you to the US.
