Based on all 715 destination cities on the site (in 33 countries). Rent is the shared-room part of the estimate (Eurostat 2024 indices cross-checked with Numbeo), not a market price. In 50 cities it is the rent reported by students in the European Commission's Erasmus+ App, and the row says so. At most 3 cities per country (the 3 best placed; ties go to the one with more universities) so the list is not taken over by cities sharing the same national estimate.

Where does this ranking come from and what is left out?

Based on all 715 destination cities on the site (in 33 countries). Rent is the shared-room part of the estimate (Eurostat 2024 indices cross-checked with Numbeo), not a market price. In 50 cities it is the rent reported by students in the European Commission's Erasmus+ App, and the row says so. At most 3 cities per country (the 3 best placed; ties go to the one with more universities) so the list is not taken over by cities sharing the same national estimate.

Can I pick my destination based solely on this?

No, and it's worth being clear: which universities you can go to depends on the bilateral agreements signed by your home university, not this catalogue. This ranking is meant for the opposite — to see, among the spots you can actually apply for, which ones fit your budget and which deadlines close first.
