I prefer living in the city. Aside from the benefits of living in modern apartments, there are many other conveniences in living in the city center. International students can save a lot of travel costs if your university is located in the city.
I won't have to worry about bus / train fees if you live in the city and close to campus, you can even save time and money and spend on essentials like textbooks etc. for you. easily accessible to the library.
I can also explore the city more while living in the center. Instead of being afraid and listening to traveling a long way to visit a museum, you can easily get to all the famous spots in the city without having to worry about time and travel costs.
Unlike student areas that give you a "community" and sometimes "home-like" feel, living in the heart of the city will give you more of a life experience.
Art galleries, museums, shops, music venues and movie theaters are all right in the center so you feel like you are always rhythmic, busy and never run out of activities.
Living in a downtown area with lots of entertainment venues, restaurants or large stores is also a good opportunity for you to find an additional job while studying.
