University Times: Three Irish Cities Named in the List of 50 Best Cities in the World for Higher Education Students
Campus Advisor ranks Galway, Dublin and Cork as some of the best cities for students due to survey responses on Student Friendliness, Cost of Living and Safety
On Tuesday, November 21st 2023, the annual Campus Advisor report was published listing the 50 best cities in the world for Higher Education Students. Three of the cities named are in Ireland.
Galway received the best ranking of any Irish city on the list, being named the seventh-best city in the world for Higher Education students. In another ranking by The Campus Advisor, published on Tuesday, Galway came first for Student Friendliness.
The other cities to be named in the ranking were Cork and Dublin. Cork placed 22nd and Dublin placed 38th.
In the metrics released, Dublin scored an overall 3.96 out of 5. The metrics are all rated out of 5 and Dublin scored 4.20 for Student Friendliness, 3.18 for Cost of Living, 4.27 for Nightlife, 3.95 for Public Transport, 4.17 for Amenities and 3.96 for Safety.
Dublin’s lowest score came for its cost of living, perhaps reflecting the struggle for affordable housing that many students are experiencing. Dublin also scored significantly lower than the other cities in terms of safety, only scoring 3.95 whilst Galway scored 4.79 and Cork 4.54. This could be a reflection of the significant increase in assaults and other violent crimes in Dublin as reported in the Garda’s Dublin South Central Division Report for 2022.

The Campus Advisor is a website which was founded in 2021 and allows current students and graduates to upload ratings and reviews for their college. Students can rate their college based on a number of metrics such as course, campus facilities and academic staff. Perspective students can search for universities based on what about the student experience is important to them and The Campus Advisor will use the reviews and ratings of various universities to match the student with a number of colleges. Every year The Campus Advisor collates all the reviews and ratings from the previous year to make its 50 Best Student Cities in the World.
Last year The Campus Advisor only published the Thirty Best Student Cities in the World and Dublin did not rank in that list, though Galway placed 24th. However, Ireland as a whole did rank 5th in their 20 Best Countries in the World for Higher Education 2022 list.
The idea of enjoying the small details of cafe culture gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. The pace and atmosphere of a place can matter as much as what is in the cup. It is the kind of question I would keep in mind when thinking about Archibalds Coffee and cafe culture and coffee. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. Which small details make you want to sit for a little longer?
I like thinking about finding the character of a local meeting place through small observations rather than trying to reach a conclusion immediately. An ordinary conversation can become part of the reason people remember a place. For Admiralfitzroy, I would use local pub culture as a starting point for a closer discussion of the subject. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. What makes a local meeting spot feel welcoming to a first-time visitor?
I find finding the character of a local meeting place easier to approach when there is a familiar situation to start from. An ordinary conversation can become part of the reason people remember a place. That practical perspective helps me frame local pub culture as a theme for Abbeyinnderby. I would be interested in an example that shows how the idea works in an ordinary situation. What makes a local meeting spot feel welcoming to a first-time visitor?
Thinking about following curiosity through everyday information, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. A clear question can turn a casual interest into something easier to explore. It is the kind of question I would keep in mind when thinking about 2welve and 2welve learning ideas. I would rather explore one useful example carefully than pretend that the whole subject is already clear. How do you decide which detail deserves a closer look before moving on?
I like thinking about communicating ideas to the right audience through small observations rather than trying to reach a conclusion immediately. A clear explanation of a practical benefit can be more useful than a string of enthusiastic claims. I would connect Seamonstermarketing with digital marketing ideas through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. That is the part I would keep thinking about after moving on to something else. What would make a short message feel relevant rather than intrusive?
