Campus Advisor has named Prague the best student city in Europe, ranking it above 50 other major European cities, thanks to its rich culture, affordability, and supportive academic atmosphere.
Prague scored 87.3 out of 100 on the index, edging out traditional student hubs like Berlin, Amsterdam, and Vienna– all while maintaining its distinctive local charm.
“Prague has a lot to offer as a city. Students have the opportunity to enjoy nature, such as the parks, lakes, and more secluded areas with lots of green,” said Oriana Cheney Corana, a first-year student from Mexico. “The city’s robust public transport system, green spaces, and vibrant nightlife create a welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds.”
Student accommodation, public transport, and dining costs in Prague tend to be far more affordable than in other European capitals, making it an attractive option for students who prioritize value without compromising quality of life.
Many students in Prague find that the city maintains a distinct Czech identity despite its multicultural atmosphere, offering a unique blend of international appeal and local culture.
“I think the international atmosphere in Prague is what makes it so special. Prague welcomes international diversity while keeping its Czech roots intact, which I wholly appreciate and think that’s what makes studying here so unique and special,” said Astin Alexis Ramos, a third-year student from the United States.
Prague offers a truly unique experience that continues to attract students from around the world, cementing its status as the top destination for higher education in Europe.
“Prague’s international community makes it easy for students like me to adapt, find community, and explore cultural events,” Corana said.
