Method
QS use six metric groups to compile the rankings:
(1) Rankings: how many top-ranked universities are present in a city? This metric group is compiled using performance data from the latest QS World University Rankings;
(2) Student Mix: what proportion of a city’s population is made up of students? How diverse is that student population? The latter question accounts for the ratio of domestic to international students in a city. The indicator group also accounts for the levels of tolerance and inclusion in a city, designed to reward cities that have created a welcoming environment for prospective foreign or minority students;
(3) Desirability: will students enjoy a high quality of life here? Do students desire to study in this city? This metric group incorporates a range of quality-of-life indicators including corruption, pollution, and independent data like a city’s rank in the Economist Intelligence Unit's Liveability Index. QS also use survey data from TopUniversities.com, where prospective international students are asked to name the cities in which they would most like to study;
(4) Employer Activity: will a chosen city provide job opportunities after graduation? Do employers hire from the city’s universities at high or low rates, relative to cities across the world?
(5) Affordability: can students afford to study here? This indicator accounts for both a range of widely-used cost-of-living indicators including the Big Mac and iPad indexes, and tuition fee costs at a city’s universities;
(6) Student Voice: perhaps most importantly: what do students studying in this city think of it? Accounts for over 87,000 responses to QS’s student surveys.
方法论
QS使用以下六个指标来编制排名：
(1)大学排名：该城市有多少顶级大学?该度量标准组使用最新QS世界大学排名的数据编制;
(2)学生组成：城市人口中有多少比例是学生?学生群体的多样性如何?国内学生与国际学生的比例如何?该指标还考虑了该城市的包容度，欢迎国际学生和少数民族学生的城市将获得高分;
(3)城市向往度：学生在该城市生活能够享受高品质的生活吗?学生想在这个城市学习吗?该指标组包含一系列生活质量指标：包括腐败数据，城市污染指数和一些独立数据，如经济学人杂志的最宜居城市排名。 QS还参考了来自TopUniversities.com的调查数据，国际学生们在调查中提及了他们最想留学的城市;
(4)就业市场活跃度：该城市能在学生毕业后提供就业机会吗?企业雇主在各城市的大学的招聘比率如何?
(5)生活成本：学生们是否能负担得起该城市的生活成本?该指标包括一系列广泛使用的生活费用指标，包括Big Mac和iPad指数，以及各大学的学费花费;
(6)学生反馈：这也是本排名最重要的指标，在该城市学习的学生怎么看待这个城市?QS从87000个学生调查问卷中得出了学生反馈数据
