Still deciding?
Rent varies hugely between cities — and between areas of the same city. A cheaper room further out can cost more once you add daily travel.
Some universities sit in one central campus; others are spread across a city. Living close to where your lectures actually are makes every day easier.
Large international communities, familiar food and places of worship can make settling in far easier. We'll tell you what each city offers.
