This year’s ranking also features the Student View for the first time. This metric is based on the survey responses of 18,000 students, who named the cities in which they would most like to study (‘Student Desirability’), their willingness to remain in a city after graduation, and the quality of their experience there. © QS Quacquarelli Symonds 2004-2017: http://www.TopUniversities.com/
