A French city has been replaced by a French Canadian one at the top of the QS Best Student Cities Ranking, a list of the best cities in the world for international students, based on university rankings, employment, affordability, and—for the first time this year—student opinions. To be considered, a city had to have at least two world-ranked universities. The top 10, with their 2016 ranking in brackets:

  1. Montreal (7)
  2. Paris (1)
  3. London (5)
  4. Seoul (10)
