Poll: Question for Aussies

[Vrex360]

The Gold Coast is actually kind of close to Brisbane if you just take a long drive. My thinking is that you should go to Brisbane for the culture and resteraunts and general city feel (also it's great for nature because the surrounding area is full of exotic rainforest and lizards) and go to the Gold Coast just to see some of the sights.

If your ethnic or anything like that you'll get your faced smashed in by losers on the gold coast. Brisbane.

I might be studying abroad soon in Australia and my choice is between Brisbane and Gold Coast.

As a person who enjoys nature, up-beat night-life, cool day time activities and sports activities which one would seem like the best choice for me? Right now im kinda leaning more Gold Coast due to the fact they offer more courses in my subject of study.

Go for the city which will better your education imo, also i still recommend the Gold coast. Great beaches, brilliant skateparks and many, many fine women.

Well I will I am just seeing how aussie's think of these cities. Right now I am about 80% sure I will go to gold coast because it's schools specialize in Kinetics and Psysiology which is my major and it sounds like an awesome place.

Don't forget about the girls in bikini's.

Gold Coast - Meter Maids.

They're really close enough that by living in one you can enjoy them both.

Brisbane, Gold Coast would be too distracting from your studies, and Yahtzee lives there. You should come to Adelaide if you could though, We ROCK!

You may call me a douchebag but you kinda turned me off from Brisbane nightlife with that statement. I mean I enjoy videogames with my bros/mates as much as anyone but having a bar where you play video games just kinda seems lame. I go to bars and clubs to drink, dance, flirt, and have a good time.

Uni wise, I think their Uni's are just about equal in terms of comparison. I'll give Brisbane a slight edge since Uni Queensland is very prestigious.

Yeah, ManaBar isn't the only bar around bud. It depends what you're into, there's stuff for everyone. I really dislike nightclubs but I dig bars and smaller places and I'm quite happy in Brisbane. Plus there are some really good live music venues and even a cult theatre.

Srsly man, live in Brisbane and visit the Gold Coast.

Choosing between Gold Coast and Brisbane is like choosing between Hell and Tartarus, one might have a slightly nicer name but they are both places of infernal torment.

Come to Melbourne, or failing that... *shudder* Sydney.

Well I looked at Melbourne and the housing is just too damn expensive and don't get me started on Sydney's house pricing. Besides it looks like Melborune is the Australian version of a massive hipster town.

Oh no you did not call Melbourne hipster... you did not... History, Culture, Sports, and best of all very few damn Queenslanders.

One thing I notice in you, that I happen to notice in a lot of Aussie's is they are damn proud of the area they live in and usually like to bash other cities or provinces they consider rivals. Which is why I have a hard time with this because it is hard to find an unbias source.

Unless you know of same super secret cheap housing, Sydney is way out of the question for living. Keep in mind im trying to budget this. The tuition isn't exactly cheap and flying is also expensive.
