If you could go to college anywhere in the world for one semester where would it be?

That is the question that's been on my mind for a while now.

The situation:
I'm 22 I'm upper semester at a prestigious music college in Boston. academically I'm very satisfied, socially I'm not at all. the problem with my school is:
1. everyone is musicians
2. everyone is super into their gig/career and doesn't relax and have fun
3. they're all fucking musicians!

this past weekend I spent two nights at a full on university in south eastern mass. after that experience I felt really jipped about my school, I pay twice as much and get twice as less. I really had fun it was normal people that love to have fun and party, not like my college.

I have a bunch of Gen eds that I need to finish up, so what I'm going to do is transfer to a real school for one semester.

at first I was like "I'll just go party with my friends at their school for a semester"

then I was like "screw massachusetts, why not California"

but now I'm like "why not study in Europe or Australia"

The only thing that prevents me from going abroad is I wouldn't be doing it through a study abroad program I'd totally just go there solo and I'm worried about being 1000's of miles from home and having everyone already be Cliqued off and being isolated. So I'm gonna try and have someone tag along with me we'll see how that turns out. I have a friend from home who's at a college in australia and she might stick around for one more if I come so that could be cool.

I just wanted to get peoples opinion about this.
 
personally, i would go to spain.

for you, if the option is there to get out of the country or to go somewhere in the US, i would get out of the country!
go to australia that sounds like a good idea
 
I'd go to Budapest because the girls are not only incredibly gorgeous but also incredibly sexy and free of inhibitions :)
 
I would go to Germany. However I think colleges work a little different in Europe and the rest of the world than they do in the US. Maybe doing a study abroad program through your school wouldn't be too bad of an idea, that way everything would be set up for you.

And by the way, I'm assuming you goto Berklee? I applied there but got too worked up over the performance part of the interview, so I never got past the paper part.
