Canada’s largest city combines all the best the country has to offer – a diverse community, vibrant cultural scene and nightlife, stunning natural surrounds, and of course world-leading universities.
Rival Canadian city Montréal retains a slight lead, ranking one place higher than Toronto in the QS Best Student Cities 2015. But Toronto continues to lay claim to having the country’s highest ranked university. In the QS World University Rankings® 2014/15, the University of Toronto is placed 20th in the world, while Montréal’s McGill University follows one place behind.
As well as being closely matched in the higher education space, the two cities are also close competitors for the title of Canada’s “cultural capital”. Toronto boasts booming art, fashion, creative and foodie scenes, and an impressive concentration of creative types. It also gets the highest overall score in the QS Best Student Cities’ “desirability” category, and ranks fourth out of 140 cities in The Economist’s Global Liveability Report.
