Sapienza, the largest university in Europe, draws most students around San Lorenzo and Termini. Roma Tre is in Ostiense, near Testaccio and Garbatella; LUMSA and many humanities faculties sit next to the historic centre; and Tor Vergata is on the south-eastern outskirts. It's worth choosing your accommodation based on your faculty and the metro line that serves it.
