Guess which is the top university city in the world?

No, really, go on.

Guess.

I'm not going to let you look down until you guess.

It's not that hard. Really.

Give it a shot.

And tell me who you guessed. Before you read it, mind.

[The survey] rates cities based on their scale and "livability", the number of world-class universities with an internationally diverse population and their investment and performance in education and research.

Guess!

Of the top 20 cities, 15 are in the developed world and the rest are in the developing economies in East Asia. To be ranked, the cities had to have at least two high-profile universities ranked by the Times Higher Education Supplement, a population of more than two million and be ranked in the top 100 most livable cities as ranked by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

Agree? Disagree? Live in one of these cities and beg to differ? Going to Melbourne Uni I would have to say that university & Melbourne life is pretty fantastic. Campus is so close to the city which oh-so-convenient for shopping, movies, exhibitions and general fun&cultural experiences, there's always something on, the uni hosts boasts religious debates, political discussions and current affairs lectures just about every other week, there are various skiing and hiking trips to be had, it's very diverse/international - MUOSS has a pretty strong presence, there's Spanish plays and Chinese theatre - college sport is pretty big, and if you came for the academics, The Uni is always telling reminding us they used to be ranked 'No 1 in Australia, No 19 in the world;' they've slipped somewhat since, though, and who knows what the Melbourne Model will do for it's reputation.

No. 4 though? Hmm...I guess Melbourne is the world's most livable city (or so they say.) I would totally rate New York (and Paris) above Melbourne, but I suppose there aren't too many universities that are actually in NYC. But I guess I can't really compare, having never lived/studied there (maybe one day!) The cities I'm considering for exchange - Philadelphia and Boston - are up there, so that's encouraging.

First exam tomorrow - español.
