It should hardly be a surprise to find Washington DC, the federal capital of the world’s most popular study destination, on a list of the globe’s best student cities. This year Washington DC is ranked as the 42nd best student city in the world and 7th in the US.
The city’s position as a leading student city is helped by the five universities based in and close to Washington DC that feature within the QS World University Rankings® 2014/15. These are theUniversity of Maryland, College Park at 122nd in the world, followed by Georgetown University,George Washington University, American University and Howard University.
And of course, studying in Washington DC means being right at the heart of US history and politics – the White House, Supreme Court and national monuments and memorials are all located here. When not seeking study advice from statues of presidents past, you may enjoy spending time in the pretty and vibrant old port area of Georgetown, seeing an exhibition at one of the 19 museums in the Smithsonian group, or engaging in the traditional local pastime of debating politics over a good meal.
