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