Usually a country is chosen by students as their study abroad destination. A country is a very big area with many sub parts called cities and states. Not all cities in a country are same. All cities have their own pros and cons. Some cities may be very well suited for education but not very easy to afford. While some cities may have good affordability but lacks laws and regulations.
While choosing a study abroad destination, students should select an institute and city instead of selecting a country. For example, most students want to study in United States of America. There 50 states making one nation with hundreds of cities. Not all of these cities are same in lifestyle and laws. Some are even considered violent by nature. If you selected just the country, you never know where you might end up regretting later.
So, my suggestion is to always research about the city too where you are going to spend next few years of life. Just like the universities and countries, cities are also ranked for the environment for students. Cities are ranked according the lifestyle, education, living cost and environment for international students.
In today’s article, I have shared the best cities of the world for international students. These cities were ranked by QS Ranking after the complete research and analysis of their large network. Let’s start with the cities here and why they are best to study abroad.
