Lyon

Lyon's diverse student atmosphere and lively cultural backdrop are key attractions to international students. The openness of the local real estate market towards foreign investment also boosts the French city's ranking. However, low economic growth, a harsh tax environment and tough visa rules makes post-graduation life a less rosy prospect.
