Coming Soon: QS Best Student Cities 2018

On May 9, the QS Best Student Cities 2018 will celebrate the world’s 100 best cities for international students.

Using a methodology that considers the affordability and desirability of a city, as well as the performance of its universities in ranking tables, the amount of employer activity in the city and the diversity of the student population – as well as what you, the students, think about each city – this ranking provides you with everything you need to know about some of the top study destinations in the world.

Last year, Montreal climbed up the table to be crowned the best city for students, but will it be able to hold on to its title for another year? Much will depend on the responses of over 50,000 students to our student survey.

Introduced last year, the survey adds a real-life perspective on what it’s like to study in each city and gives us a more complete picture of what it’s actually like to live there.

Potential challengers to Montreal’s Best Student Cities throne include Paris, the previous number one city. Other top European cities likely to be in the mix include London and Berlin, while elsewhere in the world the likes of Tokyo, Melbourne and Boston will all be hoping to improve on last year’s performance. 

Canada and Germany were the only countries to be represented twice in last year’s top 10, and it remains to be seen if they can repeat the trick again.
