I would refer you a Nigerian city if I was talking about just the cheapest cities. However, my today’s subject of writing is cheapest student cities. To be more clear, the cities that are the best for higher education and also don’t cost too much for living. It is the biggest problem of every Pakistani student to arrange financial resources to afford his/her education in a foreign country. So we definitely need to consider the factor of cost while deciding a study abroad destination.
Study abroad experts, including me, always recommended to select a ‘city’ instead of ‘country’ when deciding a study abroad destination. This way we get more precise information about what we are getting ourselves into. Now when selecting a city, we have to know its living environment, educational standards and cost of studying. In this article, I am sharing top 10 most affordable cities that are also great for higher education. These cities were analyzed and ranked by QS Ranking. I have read these ranking and I also came to the conclusion that these cities are best and cheapest for every Pakistani student to study abroad. Now let’s get on to the cities.
