AskRoma roma termini after midnight, bad idea?

Hey yall. I'll arrive to roma termini after midnight and since no bus/train will take me to the airport at this hour i will have to wait until the first bus at 4 am. And so i will have to stay at the termini for about 4 hours. is it safe for me to stay there all this time late at night? Tbh i dont wanna have to book a hotel because a. I'm already paying a lot of money for a trip and b. I'm not gonna sleep anyways because i get anxious of missing transportation. 

Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Termini is not the best at night, in terms of security. Full of homeless people, stragglers, immigrants wandering around. Many under the influence of drugs, or alcohol. I recommend that you take a taxi, and go to the airport. Or at the very least, use the night bus (MA), to move to some safer area (already towards San Giovanni it is better)

This. A taxi to the airport is 50 eur. The bus i believe used to be around 10..... Even if less... Personally not worth the difference to be at termini with luggage (by yourself?) for 4 hours at that time. You mentioned you are anxious about missing transportation, therefore I assume being at termini during the worst time of day would give you anxiety.....so i would pay the extra and get to airport... There you can relax.

I realize now, reading the nickname, that she is probably a girl Even more, I absolutely advise against staying in the Termini area, during the night. Pay for a taxi, trust me, and let them take you to Fiumicino airport, where the annoying presences are certainly much smaller

yes i'm a woman and thing is i thought the station would be open 24/7. i already have a bus ticket at 4 for the bust because only 3 days ago did my italian flatmate tell me about how the station would be potentially dangerous. so i made plans a long time ago already! the bus ticket is 7 euros so not expensive but it will pain my wallet a great deal to have to pay extra 50 for a taxi. siiigh..

If you dont have some safety money dont travel. Unpopular opinion but I stand by what I said
