From architecture and arts to finance and innovation, New York City is one of the world’s undoubted leaders in almost every field imaginable – and this includes higher education. With 10 internationally ranked universities located in the New York City area, it’s long been a magnet for international students seeking the finest education money can buy – not to mention the chance to live in such an iconic and dynamic metropolis.
Few other cities can rival the high concentration of world-class universities in the NYC area – onlyBoston and London get higher scores in the ‘rankings’ category of the QS Best Student Cities index. The main factor preventing NYC from getting a higher overall position is its low score for affordability; top-dollar tuition fees combine with relatively high overall living costs to make this one of the more expensive study options.
But for those for whom it is a financially viable option, New York offers a virtually inexhaustible supply of things to see and do. Home to many of the most important movers and shakers in world culture, business, finance and the media, and pulsating with energy 24/7, the Big Apple will keep throwing up enough surprises and new experiences to keep you going for an entire lifetime, let alone the duration of your degree program.
