When you are choosing your university to attend for studying abroad, it is important to consider the city in which you will be studying and living. Cities around the world can offer you a range of different and exciting experiences, and often your student experience can change vastly from city to city in the same country.
Local dialects, customs, food and history can all have a pronounced effect on your lifestyle as a student. Do you want to live in a city surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty? Or is living in a developed cosmopolitan area more important to you? Perhaps you wish to live and study in a city where costs of living are lower than other cities. Maybe you want to experience a city that is completely different from your home city.
Below you will find guides for cities that are popular student destinations, introducing the university options and discussing the merits of studying at each city and also the lifestyle you can expect from choosing to study at each city.
