But it certainly has been a significant shift.
Yeah, you sort of want to go to the university in your own state or at least preferably your own city to a larger extent.
I think that the US, you're right.
But yeah, I know my kids are a bit unique in that regard because they actually wanted to study away.
And so, mind you, I live in Sydney and so Wollongong is not exactly away, but my daughter studied at Wollongong and my son went to ANU.
Is ANU one of the top ones?
Well, he would say so, yes, absolutely.
Personally, I'm a University of Queensland boy, so, you know, we agree to disagree on that most of the time.
But no, I mean, at the end of the day, ANU has had a pretty stellar reputation for many, many years.
But you're right, the Americans tend to be much more willing to move away from home to study and work.
And that gives the economy actually a lot more flexibility than perhaps other places because people are more prepared to move to where the activity is and where the jobs are.
Yeah, maybe.
But I do get the sense that maybe COVID, the whole sort of tree change thing, and maybe that's encouraged more people to be a bit more dynamic in their living arrangements.

But you're right, as a general rule, Australians tend to be far more stick close to where I know rather than move.
Yeah.
With some exceptions, obviously, people do move for mining jobs and things like that.
They're quite used to moving around.
But others, yeah, not so much.
