Why study abroad in the UK is so popular

Study abroad students travel year after year to the British Isles, commonly including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, offer plentiful learning opportunities, an abundance of local history and a memorable study abroad experience to be cherished forever. It's no wonder students flock to this area most, because 6 of the top 25 Universities in the QS World Rankings are located in the UK! And, many hold prestigious rankings in their popular subject offerings. Much like the rest of Europe, public transportation is available and areas are located in close proximity to each other, making this region perfect for a student who wants to study in London, but visit neighboring areas like Scotland and Ireland on holiday.
