The Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) is the biggest university in Argentina, founded on August 12 1821 in the city of Buenos Aires. It consists of 13 faculties, six hospitals, 10 museums and three high schools: Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, Escuela Superior de Comercio Carlos Pellegrini, and Instituto Libre de Segunda Enseñanza.

Despite its size, the UBA has no central campus. Even though plans existed for a centralized 'university city', it currently holds only 2 schools with all other schools dispersed throughout the city.

This campus, called Ciudad Universitaria, is located in Nuñez, in northern Buenos Aires. It is close to Jorge Newbery Airport and River Plate Football Stadium.

Of these, only the last two have their buildings located in Ciudad Universitaria, a campus-like location on the northern part of the city. The others are scattered around the city in buildings of various sizes, some have even more than one building. Projects to move some faculties to Ciudad Universitaria are in the works.
