The area of the university campus can be reached from any direction by driving along Raccordo Anulare and taking the exit 14 - Autostrada Roma-L'Aquila, direction Roma Centro (no fee). Drive along the Autostrada until it ends, after a tunnel, into a traffic light on the left. Take for a few hundred meters the Tangenziale Est and turn right at the first exit. You will thus enter quartiere San Lorenzo, where you will find the univesity campus.
