Which one should I choose?

I've just found out that I will have my practical working experience and have been accepted. However, there is a problem. I have two choices to choose between - white biology and green.
1) White - Working in a laboratorium.
2) Green - I will be given accomodation and work at the sea, taking samples and doing other stuff.
The problem is if I choose green, I will stay there for a work week - five days. I will be given a ride there and be picked up at the end of the week.
I can't decide whether I'd be comfortable travelling away. Since I'm there alone, i have no idea what I will be doing prior to and after work hours.
I really think taking green will be both character building and experience (for CV). What should I choose?

I guess it all depends on whether you enjoy having lots of time to yourself. Personally I do and so I'd choose the latter option but I guess it's up to you.
I will be more specific tomorrow - I'm having a meeting withe my supervisor. If there are no major problems, I'd probaby take the green.
Yes, I went to a meeting today concerning green and it all went fine. Just happened that half the meeting was consumed by talking about other issues.
I will be staying with other students there, probably 10 years older than me, but I'm fine with that.
I will take the train there, a night the week before, just to check everything out - just for sure.
