Keep in mind that Australia is nearly as conservative leaning as the US right now.

NZ and Canada have similar politics but degrees from Canadian institutions are more recognizable and respected in the US should you ever decide to return. Couple of grad students were talking about it this afternoon - Canada has some damn fine schools and you're more likely to have your degree looked at just like a degree from a US institution. The top schools in England are like that but that tapers off once you get away from Oxford, London School of Economics, etc.

But doesn't New Zealand have nicer weather? Or is their weather more extreme? I can't recall....

Definitely nicer - a lot of people argue the most beautiful place on Earth :) But it is distinctly far away from everything (even, say, Perth). Then again there are days when that's a big selling point too :)

Being 13 hours time-changed from my family. Now, is that a pro or a con?

NZ has less extreme temperatures but the weather can be very changeable. It's a four seasons in one day kind of thing :p.

I've never been to college anywhere else but I'd plug NZ just because I live here and I like it :p.
