AppJobs, a European-based platform that helps job seekers find work through app-based companies, conducted a global report for the world’s best cities to be a student. The report analyzed a number of keys factors that influence a student’s experience, from the number of part-time jobs available, the average cost of rent, the frequency of concerts and shows, the number of schools, and of course, the average cost of a pint.
AppJobs weighted each city out of a possible score of 100, splitting each of their “key factors” into its own category.
Globally, Montreal ranks as the 5th best student city in the world, as per the report, and our city placed 3rd when it comes to the cheapest rent at an average of $911 per month.
Other Canadian representatives on the list are Toronto, which ranks 13th, and Vancouver, sitting at 20th.
