London has come second, beaten only by Paris, in a ranking of the world's 50 best cities for students。

　　Researchers considered cities with populations of more than 250,000 and home to two or more top universities。

　　They looked at affordability and quality of life as well as the number and reputation of universities。

　　Ben Sowter, lead researcher on QS Best Student Cities, said that though London had more world class universities than Paris it was more expensive。

　　London scored well on the quality and reputation of its universities, including Imperial College, University College London and King's College London。

　　The two cities did similarly well on quality of life, student mix and how well employers rated their universities as a source of good recruits。

　　But fees - calculated in this survey as £20,000 a year for international students from outside the European Union - meant that London lost out against Paris, where they are just £1,000 a year。

　　Mr Sowter said: "While high tuition fees make London a far more expensive proposition than Paris, London's array of world-class universities means it is worth the investment for many student."

　　The ranking is primarily aimed at international students who are considering where to study。

　　The research team considered nearly 500 cities, shortlisted just under 100 and are publishing the top 50.

　　They looked at indicators such as "quality of life", which included measures of crime and the cost of living。

　　They also looked at student mix which includes both the overall number of students and proportion from overseas。

　　Measures of affordability included the cost of a burger and the amount charged for tuition。

　　The top ten cities for students are:

　　1 Paris

　　2 London

　　3 Boston

　　4 Melbourne

　　5 Vienna

　　6 Sydney

　　7 Zurich

　　8= Berlin

　　8= Dublin

　　10 Montreal

　　近日發(fā)布的世界最佳大學(xué)城市排行榜中，倫敦位列第二，僅次于巴黎。

　　研究人員認(rèn)為，入榜的城市應(yīng)擁有25萬以上的人口和兩所以上的一流大學(xué)。

　　他們還考察了城市的經(jīng)濟(jì)可承受性、生活質(zhì)量以及大學(xué)的數(shù)量和名氣。

　　QS最佳大學(xué)城市排行的首席研究員本•薩奧特說，盡管倫敦?fù)碛械氖澜缫涣鞔髮W(xué)數(shù)量比巴黎多，但學(xué)費(fèi)更昂貴。

　　在大學(xué)的質(zhì)量和名氣上，倫敦的大學(xué)獲得了好評(píng)，包括倫敦帝國理工學(xué)院、倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院和倫敦國王學(xué)院。

　　這兩個(gè)城市在生活質(zhì)量、學(xué)生構(gòu)成和雇主對(duì)大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的滿意度方面不相上下。

　　不過據(jù)該調(diào)查估算，來自非歐盟國家的留學(xué)生在倫敦的大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)為一年兩萬英鎊，這意味著倫敦在這方面不敵巴黎，巴黎一年的大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)僅為一千英鎊。

　　薩奧特說：“盡管高學(xué)費(fèi)使得倫敦成為比巴黎昂貴得多的求學(xué)之地，但是倫敦所擁有的世界一流大學(xué)的數(shù)量意味著它還是值得莘莘學(xué)子投資的?！?/P>

　　這一排行主要面向那些正在考慮去哪個(gè)地方求學(xué)的留學(xué)生。

　　研究團(tuán)隊(duì)考評(píng)了近500個(gè)城市，最后列入候選名單的不到100個(gè)城市，并發(fā)布了前50名的排行榜。

　　他們關(guān)注了“生活質(zhì)量”等指數(shù)，包括犯罪率和生活成本。

　　他們還考察了學(xué)生構(gòu)成，包括學(xué)生總數(shù)和海外學(xué)生所占比例。

　　經(jīng)濟(jì)可承受性的衡量指標(biāo)包括漢堡包的價(jià)格和學(xué)費(fèi)高低。

　　最佳大學(xué)城市前十名為：

　　1. 巴黎

　　2. 倫敦

　　3. 波士頓

　　4. 墨爾本

　　5. 維也納

　　6. 悉尼

　　7. 蘇黎世

　　8. 柏林

　　8. 都柏林(和柏林并列第八)

　　10. 蒙特利爾
