1. Paris
Holding onto the top spot of the QS Best Student Cities index for the third year running, the French capital combines iconic architecture and one of the world’s most-coveted and admired cultural heritages with a highly impressive selection of internationally ranked universities. Its reputation among graduate recruiters rivals even its status among romantics, while low tuition fees go at least some way towards offsetting relatively high living costs.

Pursue your own “American dream” in the heart of New England, where Boston combines beauty and brains.

7. Tokyo
Want to study abroad in a REALLY big city? They don’t come much bigger, busier or buzzier than the Japanese capital, known for taking the phrase “bright lights” to a whole new level of neon.

9. Toronto
A close rival to Montréal in all respects (including the “cultural capital” accolade),Canada’s largest city and leading financial center boasts booming arts, fashion, creative and foodie scenes, and claims the strongest score in the “desirability” category of the QS Best Student Cities index. Like Montréal, it’s home to three internationally ranked universities, with the University of Toronto currently one place above McGill in the world rankings.

10. Seoul
Having been “up and coming” for some time, Seoul is now a firm fixture among Asia’s most happening destinations. Very much a 24/7 kind of city, the South Korean capital is known for its infectious energy and non-stop activity, its combination of grand palaces and towering skyscrapers, and as the center of the K-pop scene which has redefined the phrase “go viral”. Prospective students may be interested to know it’s also home to 14 internationally ranked universities.
译文：
10.首尔
曾"崭露头角"一段时间，首尔现在是亚洲固定的最常选的留学目的地之一。像其他全天候的城市一样，韩国的首都因其能量和不停止的活动而闻名，首尔有宏伟的宫殿和高耸的摩天大楼，也是韩国流行音乐的中心，已经重新定义了"病毒式传播"这个短语。潜在的学生可能有兴趣知道首尔也有14所国际排名的大学。
11. Zürich
Famed for being prosperous and immaculately kept, Switzerland’s largest city has a lot more vivacity and diversity to it than you might expect – from art galleries to street art, and from a creative cabaret scene to the world’s biggest annual outdoor dance party. Meanwhile Zürich’s natural backdrop – stunning views of the Alps and the lake which shares the city’s name – is hard to beat, as is the global ranking of its leading university, ETH Zurich (currently 12th).
译文：
11.苏黎世
以繁荣和洁净的城市而闻名，瑞士的最大城市，拥有很多活力和多样性，它可能比你期待的多 — — 从街头艺术，艺术画廊，到世界最大的年度户外舞蹈晚会创意歌舞表演现场。同时苏黎世的自然背景 — — 壮丽景色的阿尔卑斯山和湖，也分享了这个城市的名字 — — 很难打败，正如其领先的大学，苏黎世联邦理工学院(目前第12位)。
12. Vancouver
Combining coast, mountains and city life, Canada’s third representative in the QS Best Student Cities index pretty much has it all – including a university in the global top 50. The University of British Colombia (UBC)’s campus is impressively green and coastal, while Simon Fraser University is based in the middle of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, about 20km outside the city. Both are likely to appeal to snow sports lovers, thanks to the proximity of the famous Whistler Blackcomb resort.

12.温哥华
海岸、 山脉和城市生活相结合，加拿大在 QS 最佳大学城市指数的第三个代表差不多拥有一切 — — 包括全球前 50 名的大学。英属哥伦比亚大学的校园有令人印象深刻的绿色和海岸，而西蒙弗雷泽大学则是在伯纳比山保护区中部，距城市约20 公里。两者都有可能出现大量的雪上运动爱好者，多亏附近的著名胜地惠斯勒黑梳山。
13. San Francisco
Within striking distance of Silicon Valley, San Francisco blends a culture of cutting-edge innovation with a heritage of laid-back beach life and bohemianism. The home of “hippie” counterculture and liberal activism is also one of the world’s leading financial centers, most-visited and most-filmed cities, and most desirable places for ambitious young graduates to live. Stanford University (ranked 7th in the world) and the University of California, Berkeley (27th) are both within the Bay Area.
译文：
13.旧金山
位于硅谷，旧金山融合尖端创新文化与悠闲海滩生活和放荡不羁的传统。嬉皮士等反主流文化和自由派行动主义的故乡，也是世界领先的金融中心，大量游客的游览地以及电影拍摄地，雄心勃勃的年轻毕业生最适宜生活的地方之一。斯坦福大学 (世界排名第七) 和加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校 (第27) 都是在旧金山湾区。
14. Munich
Home of the renowned Oktoberfest, Germany’s third-largest city boasts the highest “affordability” score in the top 15 – largely thanks to the absence of tuition fees at German universities. With two internationally ranked universities (one just outside the global top 50), Munich offers opportunities to explore traditional Bavarian culture, alongside life in a highly developed, high-tech and high-brow metropolis.
译文：
14.慕尼黑
著名的慕尼黑啤酒节之乡，德国的第三大城市，在前15座城市中拥有最高的"负担性"得分— — 很大程度上因为德国大学对学费的减免。有两所国际排名的大学 (1所正好在全球前 50 名之外)，慕尼黑提供了探索传统的巴伐利亚文化的机会，生活在一个高度发达、高科技和高格调的大都市。
15. Singapore
This densely populated and prosperous “Asian Tiger” is a high achiever in all areas – including higher education. Its two leading universities are now both within the global top 40; the National University of Singapore is 22nd, and the young but fast-climbing Nanyang Technological University 39th. Singapore is clean-cut, corporate and competitive, yes, but also multicultural, colorful and full of surprises.
译文：
