#3 London
With 18 universities featured in the latest QS rankings, including UCL, Imperial, KCL and LSE, it is no surprise that London makes it the best city for students on this list. However, it misses out on the top spot by two places.
Although being an academic hub, the UK's capital also offers far more to students as it is one of the world's great centers of culture and creativity, famed for its museums, arts scene, nightlife and diversity.
#2 Melbourne
Jumping three places in this year’s QS Best Student Cities ranking, it’s yet another Australian city making it to the top 10 cities that is Melbourne for you.
Within the QS Best Student Cities ranking, Melbourne boasts the highest score in the student mix category, along with employer activity and desirability, which respectively look at the city’s institutions from the point of view of employers and the overall quality of living in the city. The only factor that Australian cities tend to stumble on is affordability, due to relatively high tuition fees and high living costs.
#1 Paris
Topping the QS Best Student Cities index for the third year running is Paris, which has no less than 17 universities assessed within the QS World University Rankings 2014/15.
Although Paris has a reputation for being an expensive place to live, but their universities relatively have low tuition fees, which represents more affordable destination when compared to many other popular student cities. In addition, students also often enjoy extensive access to leading academics, with top universities in Paris providing small class sizes and intensive teaching, despite the low fees.
