Replying to Study Abroad in Australia?

I've been looking to study abroad in Australia or New Zealand. I have to make a decision soon because the deadline is coming up. I'm looking for a school where i will get the best experience. I'm planning on taking mostly gen eds there. I definatly want to be on the Ocean. So far I've been looking at Griffith University, James Cook University, and University of Wollongong. All of them are in Australia. Any suggestions/recommendations will help. +k for helpful responses, Thanks.
