Methodology :
47 urban units where more than 8,000 students live were analyzed through 13 indicators. These criteria include the presence of night transport, the attractiveness of the city, the health offer, the training offer or even the local initiatives set up to welcome and support young people. This 18th ranking was obtained via a questionnaire sent in February 2024 to the participating cities and through public data provided by INSEE, the Ministry of Higher Education or the Ministry of Culture.
