The QS Best Student Cities 2019 ranking will be released on July 31, revealing the top 120 cities for students around the world.

The ranking considers several factors important to students – including affordability, desirability and employer activity – as well as how universities within each city perform in the QS World University Rankings.

We’ve also surveyed thousands of students living around the world to find out what they think of their home city. You’ll be able to read some of their comments by clicking on the cities in this year’s ranking table.

Last year, London overtook Montreal to be crowned the best city for students, overcoming the high cost of living by performing extremely well in the ranking’s other indicators. Tokyo and Melbourne were in second and third place respectively.

Whether London remains a desirable, diverse city for students in the wake of the UK’s ongoing exit from the European Union remains to be seen. Come back on July 31 to find out if it’s managed to keep its crown.
