London is named the best student City in the world in latest poll
London has emerged as the world’s best student city in the QS World University and Business School Rankings.
This is the 5th edition and most extensive ranking set of its kind – over 50,000 student responses.
For the first time, since its formulation, London has emerged as the world’s best student city. The consequent effect meant that 2017’s leading city, Montreal, Canada, had to settle for 4th spot this time around.
Tokyo has achieved their highest position since the Rankings were formed. They ranked 2nd overall and produced world-leading scores for Employer Activity and the second highest for Desirability
Both Germany and Australia can boast two of the world’s top 10 student cities. Melbourne is joined by Sydney (9th, up 13 places), while Munich (6th, up from 9th) leapfrogs Berlin (7th, down from 6th) for the first time since 2015
US cities have experienced significantly lowered ranks amongst QS’ Student Mix, Affordability, and Employer Activity indicators. 13 US cities are ranked. All but one have seen their rank for Student Mix drop.
The above has led to no US entrants in the top 10 – Boston remains the nation’s best student city but still fell from 8th to 13th this year
