University Belt

University Belt, including Taft Avenue and Intramuros

The University Belt is the name of a de facto subdistrict in Manila, Philippines, referring to an area with a significant concentration of major colleges and universities in the city.[1] The districts of Quiapo, Sampaloc, and San Miguel are traditionally considered part of the University Belt.[2] Other clusters of schools along the southern bank of the Pasig River, mostly in the districts of Intramuros and Ermita and the southernmost part of Malate near the city limits, are also sometimes included.[3] Each of the colleges and universities in the district is within walking distance of each other.
