Located at the heart of the capital city of Dhaka, the campus is the most happening place in the town that serves as the hub of all cultural activities. The central shaheed minar, a national monument erected in honour of the language martyrs of 1952, paved the way for the emergence of a nation-state. Students of Dhaka University were among the first to resist the Pakistani imposition of Urdu as a state language relegating the status of the vernacular language. This place has been at the heart of all national movements. Bangla Academy, Fine Arts Institute, National Museum, and British Council are some of the prominent places on campus tinged with place memories that add to the cultural heritage of the nation.
DU shares its campus with the oldest engineering and medical universities, giving the campus a truly academic feel.
Two historic parks, Ramna Park and Suhrawardy Udyan, dating back to the colonial period add a green touch to the campus in a city that is being overtaken by concrete towers.
