Two kilometers south of San 脕ngel, the Ciudad Universitaria is the main campus of the Universidad Nacional Aut贸noma de M茅xico (UNAM). With about 3330,000 students and 37,000 teachers, it is Latin America鈥檚 largest university. Among its alumni are five former Mexican presidents; Audre Lorde, black-American activist, feminist and poet; Mexican journalist Elena Poniatowska, who famously wrote about the student massacre of 1968; and Alfonso Cuar贸n, the first Latin-American to win a director's Oscar (for Gravity).
