Spain Voted Best Place to Study Abroad
Madrid has been ranked the number one place to study in
Europe by overseas students. Other Spanish cities Seville and Barcelona and Costa del Sol also
placed highly.
The Madrid is voted a great place to study and live |
Madrid topped the poll while Seville and Barcelona placed
highly as they came in fifth and seventh respectively.
These results mean that Spain had more cities in the top ten
than any other country. These results are also confirmation of something that
has long been suspected – you can’t beat Spain if you want to study abroad.
Cities were ranked using different criteria in the Uniplaces
poll. The main criteria were the living costs, the education standards, the
culture, the history and, of course, the nightlife that students could enjoy.
Madrid has a party scene that was undoubtedly going to be a big hit with
foreign students.
Madrid is also filled with culture, the universities are top
notch, and the transport system is great. The city as a whole is safe and
affordable. So students have virtually no worries outside of how well they are
performing in school.
Spain had more going for it than just that though. Spain has
a great climate and low cost of living in Spain that allows students to spend as much time sunbathing as they
do studying. There are also so many great bars, restaurants and cafes
throughout the country; especially in the big cities.
Spain is, of course, a great place to learn Spanish. For
students outside of an English speaking country it also presents a great
opportunity to learn English. The country has a lot of people who speak
English, including a large number of former British citizens.
The size of the country, along with the variety of the
different areas, make it a real treat to explore. Each part of Spain offers
something unique and new for students to see. There are mountains in the
northwest and the southeast has deserts.
Throw in all the coastline and it’s not hard to see why
students are choosing Spain to spend their formative years.
