10 of the Best Places to Study Abroad in 2015
Following the launch of the QS Best Student Cities
2015, here are 15 of the best places to study abroad in 2015. Take your
pick from these nerve centers of the world’s academia, culture, nightlife and
commerce – all packed with plenty to stimulate your brain cells, social
sensors, taste buds, cultural connoisseurship and adventurous impulses. From
croissants to crumpets, snow sports to sea views and art galleries to beer
festivals, there’s something here for everyone, including a good choice of
internationally ranked universities.
1. Paris
Holding onto the top spot of the QS Best Student Cities
index for the third year running, the French capital combines iconic
architecture and one of the world’s most-coveted and admired cultural heritages
with a highly impressive selection of internationally ranked universities. Its
reputation among graduate recruiters rivals even its status among romantics,
while low tuition fees go at least some way towards offsetting relatively high
living costs.
2. Melbourne
A perfect score for “student mix” propels Australia’s second
largest city to the runner-up spot in this year’s QS Best Student Cities,
reflecting its large, diverse and inclusive student community. The nation’s
“cultural capital”, Melbourne has plenty to offer all lovers of beach life,
nightlife, comedy and live music, plus seven internationally ranked
universities to choose from.
3. London
It’s impossible to beat the UK capital when it comes to
sheer quantity of universities ranked among the world’s best; London has 19
representatives in the QS World University Rankings, including two institutions
currently in the global top five. Then there are all the galleries, gigs,
restaurants and clubs you could ever want, plus surprisingly expansive green
spaces and a hipster culture to rival even New York.
4. Sydney
An iconic harbor and opera house, beaches among the most
beautiful in the world, and – the QS Best Student Cities index reveals – an
excellent reputation among graduate employers into the bargain. Australia’s
most populous, most multicultural and most recognizable city is home to five
internationally ranked universities.
5. Hong
Kong
One of the world’s most densely populated areas, Hong also
boasts one of the planet’s most impressive concentrations of internationally
ranked universities, with seven representatives in the QS World University
Rankings. This is city life in the fast lane, with a side helping of stunning
sea views and a rich mixture of local traditions and international outlook.
6. Boston
Pursue your own “American dream” in the heart of New
England, where Boston combines beauty and brains. In close proximity to two of
the most famous universities on the planet (MIT and Harvard), the “Athens of
America” is known for its history of intellectual pursuit, while behind its
sea-front skyscraper skyline you’ll find pretty tree-lined avenues in which to
enjoy the region’s famous Fall colors.
7. Tokyo
Want to study abroad in a REALLY big city? They don’t come
much bigger, busier or buzzier than the Japanese capital, known for taking the
phrase “bright lights” to a whole new level of neon. From karaoke to tea
ceremonies, Tokyo is packed with opportunities to explore traditional and
contemporary Japanese culture – and did I mention it’s home to no less than 10
internationally ranked universities?
8. Montréal
Multi-lingual, multicultural, and a more affordable study
destination than most of the other top 10 student cities this year, Montréal is
home to the prestigious McGill
University, currently ranked 21st in the QS World University Rankings.
Annual highlights include the Montréal International Jazz
Festival and the world's largest comedy festival, Just for Laughs –
just a few spikes in the city’s jam-packed cultural calendar.
9. Toronto
A close rival to Montréal in all respects (including the
“cultural capital” accolade),Canada’s largest city and leading financial center
boasts booming arts, fashion, creative and foodie scenes, and claims the
strongest score in the “desirability” category of the QS Best Student Cities
index. Like Montréal, it’s home to three internationally ranked universities,
with the University
of Toronto currently one place above McGill in the world rankings.
10. Seoul
Having been “up and coming” for some time, Seoul is now a
firm fixture among Asia’s most happening destinations. Very much a 24/7 kind of
city, the South Korean capital is known for its infectious energy and non-stop
activity, its combination of grand palaces and towering skyscrapers, and as the
center of the K-pop scene which has redefined the phrase “go viral”.
Prospective students may be interested to know it’s also home to 14
internationally ranked universities.

How to be a loving daughter with parents
Being a daughter is difficult. Hormones, bullying, and peer
pressure don't help either. If you are tired of your old ways and wish to
become a better, morally upright daughter this is the article for you.
Make a list of things you might be doing that your
parents like. Likewise, identify what you are doing well. You'll want to
keep on doing those good things, or do them even better.
Try to fix the problematic things. For example, if
you don't show your parents enough love, make the effort every morning to give both of your parents
a hug and tell them that you love them. Resolve any issues with your family and
friends. Realize that you may be wrong and owe someone an apology.
Spend time with your parents. Get close to them and
be yourself around them. For example: Go to the mall and shop with them now and
again, or ask your mom to go have a coffee with you at the nearest cafe. This
bonding can strengthen your relationship.

Home Remedies For Receding Gums
Receding gums is often one of the first signs that warn you
of gum disease. When gums start receding, they create a space between your
teeth and the gums and this will cause bacteria to enter the gums and start
damaging the tissues
Many reasons like poor dental hygiene, periodontal disease,
heredity, hormone imbalances and aggressive brushing of the teeth are some
reasons associated with this condition. Receding gums need not always be
treated in a dentist’s office. There are some natural remedies that can be used
at home in order to control the deterioration of the gums and teeth.
Natural Remedies For Receding Gums
Green Tea
Rich in antioxidants, green tea is known as the elixir of
health and can be used for treating and preventing the onset of a number of
diseases. Taking green tea will help in reducing the damage caused to the teeth
as a result of receding gums.
Green tea reduces inflammation of the gums and also helps in
destroying the bacteria in the mouth that can cause periodontal problems. Take
a cup of green tea in the morning to keep your gums and teeth strong.
Best Effective Home Remedies For Skin Pigmentation
A
widespread problem among the masses, especially a beauty concern among women,
skin pigmentation manifests itself as dark or light patches of skin, especially
on the face. Skin pigmentation is not a life threatening skin condition, but
the embarrassment and constant questioning that the affected individual has to
undergo is much worse than a life threatening condition.
Exposure to
sun and allergic conditions can cause pigmentation. Hereditary too plays a
great role in deciding whether you are susceptible to skin pigmentation.
Therefore, if your mother and grandmother had pigmentation on the skin, it is
most likely that you too would be faced with the condition. Thankfully, home
remedies are a dime a dozen when it comes to pigmentation. Even a heredity
triggered condition can be considerably reduced by the use of natural
remedies.
Potatoes
are not just good sources of starch but can also prevent a host of skin
pigmentation problems like melasma, dark circles, hyper and hypo pigmentation.
Potatoes can lighten the skin with continuous application. For using potatoes
for pigmentation, slice one medium sized potato into two and put a few drops of
water on the surface.

Why Girls Tend to Get Better Grades Than Boys Do
New research shows that girls are ahead in every subject, including math and science. Do today's grading methods skew in their favor?
This finding is reflected in a recent study by psychology professors Daniel and Susan Voyer at the University of New Brunswick. The Voyers based their results on a meta-analysis of 369 studies involving the academic grades of over one million boys and girls from 30 different nations. The findings are unquestionably robust: Girls earn higher grades in every subject, including the science-related fields where boys are thought to surpass them.
Less of a secret is the gender disparity in college enrollment rates. The latest data from the Pew Research Center uses U.S. Census Bureau data to show that in 2012, 71 percent of female high school graduates went on to college, compared to 61 percent of their male counterparts. In 1994 the figures were 63 and 61 percent, respectively. In other words, college enrollment rates for young women are climbing while those of young men remain flat.

Think Girls Make Good Leaders & Can Be Good Students
Gender discrimination has come a long way in the past few decades. Colleges have gone co-ed, a woman will soon appear on the $20 bill, and Hillary Clinton is again a candidate in the upcoming presidential election. But according to a new study from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, we still have a ways to go before we reach true gender equality.
The study polled 20,000 students at a diverse group of 59 middle schools and high schools to learn about how they viewed girls' leadership abilities. They found that many teen girls, teen boys, and parents have biases against teen girls as leaders.
When it comes to politics, for example, 23 percent of girls preferred male politicians, 8 percent preferred female politicians, and 69 percent had no preference; 40 percent of boys preferred male politicians, 4 percent preferred female politicians, and 56 percent had no preference.
The study's findings are important because girls make up half our population. If we don't support girls' dreams of making it big, then how can we all ever achieve our dreams? Girls are just as qualified to lead as guys are, and studies show that female leadership styles can be just as effective (if not more so) than traditionally male leadership styles.
Empowering girls through education is best achieved by the member states
Marking a one year's anniversary in the European parliament I have come to realize that all too often we try to focus on issues that are largely distant to Europe's citizens.
This is not because we do not have the best intentions in mind, but mostly because we are trying to reach too far and do not respect the principle that some policies should be best left to the member states and communities to decide.
The topic of girls' empowerment lies at the top of parliament's women's rights and gender equality committee priorities and we will be discussing Liliana Rodrigues' report in the coming days and weeks.

QS University Rankings: EECA – Methodology
First published in 2014’s pilot
edition, the QS University Rankings: Emerging Europe & Central Asia
(EECA) has been extended in 2015 to feature the top 150 universities in the
region. Aiming to celebrate and track the performance of higher education
institutions in the EECA countries, the ranking uses a methodology adapted from
the overall QS World University
Rankings®, and similar to those used for QS’s other regional rankings.
A total of nine factors are assessed, each of which
contributes a certain proportion towards institutions’ overall scores. The
results table can be sorted to compare universities on each of these nine
indicators.
Academic reputation (30%)
As is the case for all of QS’s university rankings, global
reputation is assessed through two major international surveys. The first of
these is the annual QS Global Academic Survey, which asks academics worldwide
to identify the institutions they perceive to be conducting the best work in
the own field. In 2015, more than 72,000 responses were considered.
Employer reputation (20%)
Alongside the academic survey, the QS Global Employer Survey
asks graduate employers across the planet to name the institutions they believe
to be producing the best graduates in their sector. For the 2015 rankings, more
than 44,000 employer responses fed into the results.
Faculty/student ratio (15%)
In lieu of a reliable or practical method by which to assess
and compare teaching quality internationally, faculty/student ratio is
considered. This is based on the number of students enrolled per full-time
academic staff member, aiming to give an indication of each institution’s
commitment to providing high standards of academic support.
Papers per faculty (10%)
Calculated using data from Elsevier’s Scopus –
the world’s largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed academic
literature – this indicator reflects research productivity, based on papers
published per academic faculty member.
Web impact (10%)
Based on the Webometrics ranking, this indicator reflects the extent of
each institution’s online presence, one aspect of their commitment to
international engagement and communication.
