The QS Best Student Cities ranking considers such factors as the quality of a city’s universities, its student population, accessibility for international students, safety, affordability, employment opportunities and a survey of students from around the world.

Montreal fared particularly well with the surveyed students, earning a rank of second in the world in that category.

QS also included three of the city’s four universities — McGill, Concordia and Université de Montréal — in its ranking, with McGill listed as 35th in the world.

London overcame abysmal affordability results to top this year’s ranking.

Toronto, which is allegedly a city students can spend time in for reasons unknown, was ranked 11th.
