Out of 66 major cities across the country that were part of a study, New York City ranked dead last when it comes to being student-friendly — but did beat out a number of other, smaller NYC-area metropolitan areas

It also rated poorly in academic and economic opportunities, which factors in the quality of higher education available plus job prospects, finishing just 232nd. Unsurprisingly, it scored well in social environment, ranked 54th. That category combines nightlife and activities to do with statistics such as crime rate and COVID vaccination levels

What were the major cities that fared the best in the study? Austin, Texas, was the clear top choice, followed a pair of Florida cities in Tampa and Miami.

Other notable nearby cities include Ithaca , Storrs, CT , New Haven , Buffalo , Troy, NY , Rochester , Philadelphia , New Brunswick, NJ , Albany , Syracuse , Jersey City , Stamford, CT and Hartford .
