And the best place to study in France is...?
Ever wondered where the best place in France to be a student is? If you think it's Paris you'd be wrong, apparently. Here is a countdown of the Top Ten best places in France to study and the reasons why, according to the latest rankings. Can you guess which city comes out on top?
According to the rankings by student magazine Etudiante.fr the French capital Paris is not even one of the top ten best places in the country to study.
The reason for that is all down to cost, according to Virginie Bertereau, from Etudiante.fr
"Obviously Paris is great for culture but the cost of living, and in particular the price of accomodation, means it does not score highly in the rankings," she told The Local.
Apart from "culture" the classifications were based on everything from job prospects to transport and quality of teaching to nightlife.
The Top Ten makes for interesting reading, especially the number one spot, which most gap year students would probably never think of when planning their year out.
So without further ado, here is a countdown of the top ten places in France to be a student, from 10 to number one and the reasons why, according to Etudiante.fr.
