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. Raleigh and Atlanta rounded out the top five. No other NY-area cities qualified to be a"major city,", which required the population of a city proper to be greater than 300,000 people.
Among all college cities, of all sizes, Austin still came out on top, followed by Ann Arbor, Michigan, and three Florida cities: Orlando, Gainesville and Tampa. The highest-ranking tri-state city was Princeton, New Jersey, which WalletHub ranked 11th. 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 .
