Cork and Galway have been named as two of the best cities for students in the world for 2022.
According to a study from TheCampusAdvisor.com, a global student review website that allows users to rate their all aspects of their university life, these two Irish cities are favored among college students.
The website recently released their list of the 30 Best Student Cities in the World for 2022, which was determined entirely on ratings submitted by students.
The Campus Advisor surveyed 12,164 students over the past year about the cities they live in while attending university. The survey considered a range of factors including student friendliness, cost of living, nightlife, public transport, amenities, safety, and the opinions of current students.
Cork ranked 22nd on the list, while Galway earned the 24th spot.

The overall mission of the study is to help students make a more informed decision about what university will be the best fit for them, and allow students to better prepare for the next chapter in their life. The researchers also wish to highlight areas in which cities can improve in order to give residents living there a better quality of life.
