Montreal rated as world’s best in international education study

Montreal ranked at the very top of a global list of cities offering the best return on investment for students coming from overseas to pursue an undergraduate degree.

China’s Bank of Communications, one of the country’s largest banks, in partnership with the Economist, created an index of major world cities. It notably measured cities’ quality of education,  future employment prospects, and how welcoming they were to international students.

Montreal was named first, ahead of London, Hong Kong, and Toronto.

“Montreal offers the best overall return on an overseas undergraduate education: A mixture of top-quality universities, openness to foreign students and investors, and cultural vibrancy” said the index’s creators.
