Basis for Ranking
The cities which were declared competent in this survey had a ranking basis on these following grouping:
Student mix
Student mix from all over the world. Overall student population counting the relation between global students to local students, cultural variety, and inclusivity. A town with a broad-minded attitude from the locals mattered to students and their guardians who desire to preserve their standard of living, cultural setting, and regional identity.
Desirability
The second most crucial factor is desirability. Ranks based on the whole element of desirability for the students to dwell in any of the city which has a secure environment, visible governance, and a fresh and pollution-free locality. It, also, includes the students’ awareness of the ideal purpose to acquire an international degree.

Employer Activity
Employer activity also serves as an essential prerequisite. Domestic and global employer status in cities that are highly sought-after as opportunity grounds for new employees. An extra bonus is also practical in countries with youth service chance based on figures enlisted by the World Bank.
Affordability
Next is affordability, which is an important quality for a student to live in. Cities based on the price of livelihood and affordability of teaching and schooling fees and other accompanying expenses which serve as central factors when students and their guardians are allowing for global education.
Student View
Skill in areas such as open-mindedness and enclosure, multiplicity, friendliness and ease of getting around, affordability, art and culture, and employment opportunities. It also enlisted cities based on the number of global students who either stay after graduation or would feel affection to stay and get employment.
Hope of Improvement
Also, the 2019 QS status shows universities in Australia are at a minor global shortcoming on ways of affordability. This is an examination and inspection of previously about the matter.
We try to fix this up when it comes to learning quality. The QS results support management initiatives like Study Melbourne and Study Sydney, which provide global students with service assistance, occupation guidance, and everyday living support.
