London

London is the world's number one city for students overall, but it's also the 82nd most affordable.

London, a historic city with some of the world's most recognizable structures and sites, tourist attractions, and cultural variety, is not known for being the most affordable place to live or study in.

According to Numbeo, a single person's monthly cost of living averages US$1,005 without rent, therefore students who choose to study in England's capital city may expect to pay up to US$21,200 per year in tuition fees. However, living in London is far less expensive than living in competing metropolitan areas such as New York, where rent is over 32% higher.

According to the QS World University Rankings 2019, London has 17 globally rated institutions, with its highest-ranked institution, UCL (University College London), ranking 10th in the world.
