A little off-topic, but studying is the best time of your life if you actually went somewhere away from home.

I did my A-levels and first year of degree at "home" and couldn't figure out what the hell the fuss was about. Then while doing the remainder of the degree "alone," wow I miss those 3 years so much.

Was supposed to be 2 years, but WoW made me extend to 3. At least I got my paper!

i disagree.

it doesnt matter where you are, so long as you learn and make friends ud have a wonderful student life

i dont understand when you said "home" and "alone"

if that's an attempt to subtlely tell us you finished ure degree in Australia, you might as well just say it out straight

like im in california now, $15 equals to an hour job at the computer administration center

"home" - back in Malaysia.
"alone" - when u're out of your home country and one is finding it hard to make friends? some people adapt to the environment better than others.

anyway, we're digressing regarding the question that you ask. i think u got most of the answers already so it's now up to u what you want to do.

i simply want to leave this thread open for further suggestions

I did my degree locally and had lots of fun and learnt a lot of things in the process.

WOW suck your life/future/hope/dream like no body business, it even caused death to someone in mainland China. flee yourself from wow while you can. (I'm having 3 lvl 60 char (2 priest 1 mage) and countless lvl 40+ char both my priest are marshall / warlord) if 2 hours = 1 lvl, marshal / warlord = 1000 hour... I've spent 10th thousand of play time in WOW... Someone help me... I'm dying...

Oooohhh (sound effect of human female char dying)
Oooo ahhhhh (human male char dying)
Oohhhhhhh (male gnome char dying)

I did my degree in New York, but that's nothing to shout about/be proud of, and neither was it the point.

I believe the best "study experience" is being on your own, having to juggle studies/part time job/friends/entertainment/expenses, with zero parental supervision. It's knowing that you can almost do whatever the hell you want, but then realizing that with great freedom comes great responsibility - and yet if shit hits the fan, you still have your parents/relatives looking out for you.

I'm not saying that you can't have a great college experience in your home town, I'm just saying it's probably a more "complete" experience away from home.

(On your own just means away from your hometown, not necessarily overseas)

Anyway with regards to weekend only WoW, end-game will be a huge challenge. Especially when you're on a Us-time server, cos raiding on weekdays is impossible, and raiding on weekends involves waking up at stupid hours.

He said he is in California, so timing won't be a problem. Besides, there are lots of guilds that raids only on weekends. Can't expect top-of-the-line loot on a weekend only raid though.
