Best student cities in the world
QS has published its 'best student cities' ranking for 2017 today - top of the list is Montreal.
One UK city in the top 10 - London (3rd). And more UK cities appear in the top 50: Edinburgh (18th), Manchester (23rd), Glasgow (34th), Coventry (39th), Nottingham (43rd).
Maybe a few surprises in there? Coventry comes higher up the rankings than the likes of Adelaide, Stockholm and Lisbon, for instance. The rankings are apparently worked out from a combination of scores on affordability, desirability and employer activity.

4 Seoul, South Korea
5 Melbourne, Australia

Taipei
It's a decent sized city with tonnes of universities in a westernised country which speaks a fairly widely spoken language, has good industry and low-ish cost of living. It's not that surprising.

Quite surprised at London being 3rd when affordability is taken into account
Surprised that Newcastle is not in the top 50.
Surprised Sheffield ain't there

London, where students go to bankrupt themselves... Yeah, genius choice.
Yeah. This is a ridiculous list. Cities for young professionals in high earning professions, maybe. Or internationals who will get helicoptered in

What other cities would you put up there? These are choices I've heard before that are supposed to be great!
Would have had Birmingham above Coventry at least.
They've forgotten to put Bristol in there
providence in rhode island seems like a good place to study. but that maybe just be because i low key would really like to go to rhode island school of design (but could never afford it). albeit there is like 4 colleges in providence and it's nearish boston n new york.

That's why I'm really not a fan of league tables particularly on something arbitrary such as this. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like St Andrews now that you mention private helicopters!
Let us make a Tsr list of the best student cities in the UK then have it compete with this QS publication so that students aren't going to be misinformed when applying to cities based on this kind of information.
