As you may expect, the best US cities for students tend to score well in indicators<\/a> relating to university rankings and employer activity \u2013 but not so well when it comes to affordability. However, the relatively high costs do little to deter the thousands of new international students the US welcomes each year. So if you’re looking to study abroad in the US, check out this list of the best cities in America to study abroad in!<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

1. Boston<\/h2>\n

If you want to be surrounded by the world\u2019s best and brightest students and academics, then you can\u2019t really do much better than Boston \u2013 especially if you include the nearby student-centered town of Cambridge, MA. The latter is the location of the\u00a0Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Harvard University<\/a>, ranked first and second in the world in the QS World University Rankings\u00ae 2015\/16<\/a>. Boston is also home to another five universities which rank in the top 400, and this high concentration of leading universities propels it to joint 13th<\/sup> place in the QS Best Student Cities index. Employers are undoubtedly aware of Boston\u2019s prestige, with the city earning the second best score in the index for \u2018employer activity\u2019. The Boston area is also well known for arts and culture, particularly when it comes to contemporary classical music. It\u2019s not all serious academia and highbrow culture though: the city is also renowned for its pubs and bars, as well as its fondness for sports. This is definitely one of the most magnificent cities in America!<\/p>\n

2. New York<\/h2>\n

As well as \u2018The Big Apple\u2019 and \u2018The City That Never Sleeps\u2019, New York City, ranked 20th<\/sup> in the Best Student Cities index, is sometimes called the \u2018Capital of the World\u2019. Few other cities conjure up as many instant associations, be it the skyscrapers that serve as towering monuments to the city\u2019s financial power, the legendary music and fashion scenes, the bright lights and glitz of Broadway or the famous delis and delicious street food. There\u2019s no shortage of\u00a0top universities in New York<\/a>\u00a0either, including\u00a0Columbia University<\/a>\u00a0(ranked 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0in the QS World University Rankings\u00ae 2015\/16) and\u00a0New York University<\/a>\u00a0(53rd<\/sup>), as well as nine others which are ranked within the top 800 in the world. New York therefore places 5th<\/sup> in the \u2018university rankings\u2019 category of the Best Student Cities index, just beating Boston, which is 6th<\/sup>. New York achieves the best ranking out of all of the best US cities for students in the desirability category, offering a high (albeit pricey) quality of life.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

3. San Francisco<\/h2>\n

Lying adjacent to\u00a0California’s famed tech innovation hub\u00a0Silicon Valley, San Francisco is another iconic US city, within striking distance of two of the world’s most prestigious\u00a0universities,\u00a0Stanford University<\/a>\u00a0and the University of California, Berkeley<\/a>, currently ranked joint 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0and 26th<\/sup>\u00a0in the world respectively. One of the world’s leading 10 financial centers, the San Francisco Bay Area is home to hundreds of innovative companies, particularly in the technology sector. This, combined with the high caliber of its institutions, gives San Francisco one of the strongest scores in the \u2018employer activity\u2019 category of the QS Best Student Cities index. Although tuition fees are high, San Francisco is more affordable in terms of living costs than the likes of New York, and ranks at joint 27th <\/sup>overall. This is one of the cities in America you will not forget!<\/p>\n

4. Chicago<\/h2>\n

Next in our list of the best cities in America for students is \u2018The Windy City\u2019 (although it\u2019s not the only one<\/a>.) A\u00a0fast-paced, high-rise economic hub,\u00a0Chicago\u00a0is also a city that famously knows how to let its hair down. Ranked as the 30th<\/sup> best student city in the world this year, Chicago remains well known as the site of an explosion of blues and jazz music during the 20th century, which earned it a reputation as the northern\u00a0US’s answer to New Orleans. The city is also home to two of the world\u2019s most esteemed universities, the University of Chicago<\/a>\u00a0(ranked 10th<\/sup>\u00a0in the world), and\u00a0Northwestern University<\/a>\u00a0(32nd<\/sup>), plus two more universities within the global top 500. Again, these reputable institutions also mean Chicago earns a strong score for \u2018employer activity\u2019.<\/p>\n

5. Los Angeles<\/h2>\n

Sunshine is guaranteed pretty much year round in the next one of the best cities in America, which ranks at 42nd<\/sup> overall. Los Angeles remains largely defined by the creative industries on which its wealth is founded: music, television, and \u2013 most of all \u2013 film. Other things that might leap to mind when you think of the city are the bright Californian sun, beaches, and the perpetual pursuit of the body beautiful \u2013 after all, this is the home of \u201cMuscle Beach\u201d. If you\u2019d rather be exercising your mind than your body, there are plenty of prestigious universities in Los Angeles, including the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA),<\/a> 27th<\/sup>\u00a0in the QS World University Rankings 2015\/16. This is one of the most famous cities in America!<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

6. Washington DC<\/h2>\n

It won\u2019t be a surprise to see the federal capital ranking as one of the best cities in the US to be a student \u2013 this year ranked 45th<\/sup> in the QS Best Student Cities overall. Studying in Washington DC means being right at the heart of US history and politics \u2013 the White House, Supreme Court and national monuments and memorials are all located here. Washington DC\u2019s position as a leading student city is helped by the five universities based in and close to the city that feature in the\u00a0QS World University Rankings\u00ae 2015\/16<\/a>, the highest ranked of which is University of Maryland, College Park<\/a> at joint 126th\u00a0<\/sup>in the world.<\/p>\n

7. Philadelphia<\/h2>\n

Home of Ivy League member the\u00a0University of Pennsylvania<\/a>\u00a0(18th<\/sup>\u00a0in the\u00a0QS World University Rankings\u00ae 2015\/16<\/a>), as well as the esteemed\u00a0Drexel University<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Temple University<\/a>,\u00a0Philadelphia\u00a0certainly holds its own as an international study destination. Ranking as the 48th<\/sup> best student city in the index, Philadelphia has a rich past, having played a key role throughout US history and politics \u2013 for instance, it was here that the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. Beyond the tourist trail, the \u2018city of brotherly love\u2019 (a nickname based on the Greek meaning of \u2018Philadelphia\u2019), is a multifaceted modern metropolis, becoming well known for its sports and fine cuisine.<\/p>\n

8. Pittsburgh<\/h2>\n

Pittsburgh, the second-largest city in the US state of\u00a0Pennsylvania<\/a>\u00a0(after\u00a0Philadelphia<\/a>), retains its place in the QS Best Student Cities this year, sharing 58th<\/sup> place with Atlanta. Pittsburgh compensates for the high tuition fees seen at universities across the US by offering a strong quality of living, diverse student population, and a chance to study at a world-renowned university. Two universities in Pittsburgh are featured within the\u00a0QS World University Rankings 2015\/16<\/a>, led by the well-known\u00a0Carnegie Mellon University<\/a>\u00a0in joint 62nd<\/sup>\u00a0place, which of course means another high score for employer activity.<\/p>\n

9. Atlanta<\/h2>\n

A new entry in the Best Student Cities index this year at joint 58th<\/sup>, Atlanta is the capital and largest city of the US state of\u00a0Georgia<\/a>, and is known as the \u2018city in a forest\u2019 due to its abundance of trees. Located in the south east of the US, Atlanta\u2019s progressive attitude during the US Civil Rights Movement earned it another nickname \u2013 \u2018the city too busy to hate\u2019. Of the top universities in Atlanta, the highest ranked in the\u00a0QS World University Rankings\u00ae 2015\/16<\/a> is\u00a0Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech)<\/a>, a university with very high research activity and close ties to the industrial world.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

10. Baltimore<\/h2>\n

Located in the north-east of the US, Baltimore is ranked 71st<\/sup> in the Best Student Cities index and is the largest city in the state of\u00a0Maryland<\/a>. Known for being a major seaport, Baltimore is affectionately referred to as \u2018Charm City\u2019 and the \u2018Land of Pleasant Living\u2019, amongst other nicknames \u2013 and in recent years has become well-known as the setting for popular TV series The Wire<\/em>. With a rich history, the city exhibits examples from each era of architecture over more than two centuries, including the Washington Monument. Among the top universities in Baltimore is\u00a0Johns Hopkins University<\/a>, which is ranked 16th<\/sup>\u00a0in the\u00a0QS World University Rankings\u00ae 2015\/16<\/a>, and is famed as one of the\u00a0best medical schools<\/a>\u00a0in the world. Just outside the city center is the\u00a0University of Maryland, Baltimore County<\/a>, which is also ranked at international level.<\/p>\n
