Having entered the QS Best Student Cities in the 2014 edition, Australia’s national capital consolidates its place in the 2015 release, climbing from 37th to 21st. It’s one of six Australian cities represented in the QS Best Student Cities index, alongside Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Like all of these Australian entries, Canberra scores very well in the “student mix” category, reflecting its large and internationally diverse student population. As the home of Australia’s highest ranked university, Australian National University (ANU), (ranked 25th in the QS World University Rankings® 2014/15), it’s unsurprising to find the city has proven attractive to students from around the world.
Canberra’s second strongest score is in the “desirability” category, which has beenexpanded in 2015 to take into account additional measures of city life, such as safety, pollution, tolerance and transparency. And while it may be one of Australia’s few major settlements which is not within walking distance of the beach, Canberra does have plenty of natural attractions – including its own (man-made) lake right in the city center, and numerous nature reserves all around.
