10. Seoul
Seoul, in South Korea, has 14 universities in the QS World University Rankings this year, the highest ranked of which is Seoul National University at 36th in the world. The city has retained its newly held spot in the top 10.
9. Berlin
Climbing seven places to make it into the top 10, Berlin is two places ahead of Munich to claim top spot in Germany. According to the rankings, the city is the most affordable place to study in the top 10, down to the lack of tuition fees and low living costs. It has three universities in the world rankings.
8. Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world, both in terms of people and high ranking universities, which includes HKUST, HKU and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Rents might be high, but eating out and transport costs remain low.
7. Montreal
Known as the cultural capital of Canada, Montreal's McGill University currently sits in 24th in the QS World Rankings. Its highest score comes in the 'student mix' category, while its lowest score is affordability.
6. Singapore
Climbing a massive nine places on last year, Singapore's highest ranked university, the National University of Singapore (NUS) now comes in 13th in the world rankings. However, a recent fee increase – and the fact that the city is ranked 4th most expensive in the world by Mercer – means the city is expensive to study in.
5. London
With 19 universities featured in the QS rankings – including UCL, Imperial, KCL and LSE – it is no surprise that London features highly on this list, despite slipping two places on last year. UK-wide and Manchester and Edinburgh have also been named in the top 50, coming in 33rd and 21st respectively.
4. Sydney
Sitting behind Melbourne, Sydney retains its position as 4th best student city in the world. It has five universities in the world rankings and has a diverse student community. The University of Sydney currently sits in 45th position in the world rankings, with the University of New South Wales in joint 46th.

3. Tokyo
Climbing from seventh last year, Tokyo is the best city for students wanting to avoid living in a "student bubble". Despite having 13 universities in the QS World University Rankings, it has one of the lowest proportion of students compared with the population.
2. Melbourne
One of two Australian cities in the top 10, Melbourne has retained its second place position, and is the top student city in Australia. The University of Melbourne is currently 42nd in the world according to the QS rankings. However, the relatively high international tuition fees and living costs bring the overall score down.
1. Paris
A slight ray of sunshine for a city still coming to terms with the November terror attacks. Coming in first for the fourth year running, Paris has 18 universities listed in the world rankings, including Sciences Po, ENS Paris, Ecole Polytechnique and the Sorbonne. While some may report that Paris is an expensive city, the relatively low tuition fees make up for it.
