Higher education institutions have become a globalized sector in specific locations, serving as significant sources of economic and knowledge enrichment for cities through the student population they attract. These institutions have evolved into dynamic resources facilitated by the influx of students, thereby establishing an international exchange of knowledge and skills. Due to the possibility of top-ranked education that comes with better career opportunities and networking, students pursue education abroad, particularly in global cities, through their mobility across international boundaries. Moreover, they play a critical role in the future development of global cities and the competition among them by serving as a readily available pool of innovative and young professionals, the contemporary creative class, poised to make significant contributions to the economies of these urban centers.
