I would say definitely Reading because it's a small place and everything is within a walking distance. Reading is also great for travel. It's super easy to travel to other UK cities. You can go to London or Oxford and that's all 20 minutes by train. I agree that Reading is the best city as the living cost is very affordable for international students.

It's very easy to get out and about to explore the beautiful countryside, museums and art galleries, great festivals. Leeds!

Hi students, all the cities and towns in the UK offer a fantastic study environment. However, some of the students prefer to stay in a vibrant location such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, and so on. And some other students also prefer to stay in university towns such as Loughborough, Lancaster, Oxford, Cambridge, St Andrews, Exeter, and so on.

This is bullying from the University of Derby in terms of kids, it really depends on what kind of person you are. So for me, I prefer a very quiet city like Derby when I was studying and when I need to rest or a holiday, I can travel to like Birmingham or Manchester, which is only half an hour away for some nice Chinese restaurants, some fancy shopping or even some really nice carvings.

Of course, every university will say their city is the best, but the thing about Manchester is all the people say it too. The Time Out City Index have named us one of the most exciting cities in the world. We come in at number 15, whereas QS best student cities have said we're top three in the UK and the Economist have named us the best city to live in in the UK and have done for a number of years now.

Which city in the UK is best for international students? Well, this is very subjective because best means different things for everyone.

Lot of lovelistes to study here in the UK. However, since I studied in Nottingham, I would say not one of the best cities to study in the UK. I'll start with level of diversity in the city. There's a whole lot of diversity, so if you come to Nottingham, you can easily fit in. And also there is wanted to know that there are two universities here in Nottingham and there's always a lot to explore in Nottingham. A lot of food, a lot of different cultures fully represented here in Nottingham and also as well located geographically. If you want to travel up north or down south, you can easily do that here in Nottingham.
