Salah on campus as a Muslimah

Assalamu alaikum, I'm an 18-year-old sister from Saudi Arabia, and for the first time, I'm moving to Europe for uni. Alhamdulillah I've been used to hearing the adhan everywhere, but now I'm anxious about keeping up with my prayers where masjids are scarce. I can't find a sheikh to ask directly, so if you know the ruling, please share some daleel or point me to someone knowledgeable. When it's time to pray and I'm on campus or in a park, is it allowed for me to pray in public as a woman, or should I wait until I get back to my dorm? Jazakum Allahu khairan.

Girl, I feel you. I studied in France and prayed in empty classrooms or library corners. No one bothered me. Just do your best, inshaAllah.

Wa alaikum assalam sis! It's totally allowed to pray anywhere clean. Just bring a small prayer mat and find a quiet corner. Allah makes it easy.

May Allah ease your journey. From what I know, you can pray in public as long as you maintain modesty. Maybe ask a local imam online?

Salam! You can pray anywhere that's clean, even if people see you. Allah sees your intention. Don't delay prayers waiting for the dorm.

Check with your uni's Muslim students association-they'll know prayer spaces. And yes, outdoor salah is fine, just keep your awrah covered.
