UNB, Dhaka :
The global higher education analysts QS Quacquarelli Symonds declared top 10 Best Student Cities in 2017.
The cities are Montreal, Paris, London, Seoul, Melbourne, Berlin, Tokyo, Boston, Munich and Vancouver.
In the rankings, Montreal in Canada has ended Paris’s five-year run as the world’s best student city.
This year’s ranking features a ‘Student View’ indicator for the first time.
Seoul is Asia’s best student city, rising to 4th, followed by Tokyo (7th) , Hong Kong (11th) and Singapore (14th).
Findings for the United Kingdom provide reassurance to those concerned about the potential effects of the UK’s impending exit from the EU on its higher education sector.
Montreal’s success is the latest of a series of propitious signs for a city beginning to escape a period of economic stagnation, following positive growth forecasts for 2017, and the recent announcement of its selection as the ‘World’s Most Intelligent City’.
Its first-place ranking is also the highlight of a series of positive performances from Canadian cities: four of the country’s five ranked cities improve their position.
The results suggest that UK cities remain excellent study destinations in the face of Brexit, with rises in QS’s Affordability indicator a major contributor to all eight of its ranked cities improving their rank.
Australia’s high cost-of-living and tuition fees are proving disadvantageous: all of its seven ranked cities drop, with Sydney plummeting from fourth to thirteenth, and Melbourne falling from second to fifth; Berlin rises to 6th; Munich (9th), and Vancouver (10th) complete the top 10.
