Pursuing higher education in a top study abroad country has its perks. Opting to study in a college / university located in one of the highest ranked global student cities, even more so.
There’s a misconception that studying and living in a top global student city would be expensive. Far from the truth.
Studying and living expenses are related to the college / university tuition fees, choice of accommodation and lifestyle. Here is a list of top global student cities, many of which are budget-friendly.
London
A melting pot of cultures from across the world, studying in London, or in its vicinity, is a dream of many international students. It isn’t wonder then, that of all students studying in U.K., one-third among them study and live in London – ranked the best global student city!
While this modern yet aristocratic city could be expensive to study and live, getting a post-study work opportunity here could well set off the living cost in long term.
