Dublin was given a fair safety score of 48.3 out of 100, and a happiness score of 7.04.
A low cost of living is an important consideration for students wanting to spend a year abroad and Dublin had a very affordable cost of living score of 70.38. This is mainly due to lower rental prices, and having the fourth lowest average cost for groceries.
Dublin's cost of living score is slightly higher than in places like Berlin and Brussels. However, it is significantly lower than options such as Zurich, Amsterdam and Oslo.

Paris ranked as the number one city for students looking to study abroad in Europe, with five of the top 70 universities residing in the French capital.
According to the report, some of the greatest benefits of living in Paris are the very fair price level index, low cost of living, and rental prices: which are the fifth cheapest of every city in the ranking.
Paris is closely followed on the list by Berlin and Barcelona, and with Stockholm rounding off the top five cities for international students.
