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.
