Not sure where to study? Answer three questions about budget, language and what matters to you. We compare 16 popular destinations for international students and show the three that fit you best — with costs, work rules and the scholarships to look at.

1. Your total budget per year (tuition + living)
2. Language
3. What matters most? (choose any)

Based on approximate costs and rules for international students at public universities, reviewed October 2026. Rules change — always check the official university and embassy pages.

Next: estimate the full cost with the study cost calculator, or read our country guides.
