Villanova University Top Questions

Describe the students at Villanova University.

is composed of some of the most amazing students the country has to offer

Lauren

I have had experiences with people from different racial, socio-economic backgrounds here at Villanova. Students who do not want to be involved would feel out of place. Students get dressed for class for the most part. I see different types of students interacting. Most of the students are from the mid-atlantic and the northeast, and do a secure financial backgrounds. Students are politically aware for the most part and many are active in politics. I would say there is a mix of left, right, and center.

Becca

Most students were jeans and a shirt to class. Some girls are very fashionable, most are casual, and some, like me, prefer sweats alot.

Hayley

Villanova's student body is very much like high school: cliques exist. I'm pleasantly suprised at the large amount of Villanovans who are politically liberal.

Daniel

The students at villanova are very accepting people to every kind of person. it is something unique about a villanovan and I can say I see the differance between someone who started here and another person who is a transfer student. Villanovans who start here and end here have such a caring personallity about all human beings. As far as politics and views, the student body is conserverative, much more then most of the professors.

I think that some girls get a bit too dressed up for class, but I guess that whatever they want to wear is fine. I think it's true that different types of students interact, especially through extracurriculars, but of course everyone has their group of friends. Most students are probably from the east coast (especially northeast and mid-atlantic) or even California, not usually the middle of the country (except maybe the Chicago area). I think students, especially now because of the election, are politically aware. People are very involved with campaigns, and I've met people completely to the right side and completely to the left side of the political spectrum. Some people (mostly business students) have talked about how they will be very successful and make money one day, but I don't think that it's an overwhelming amount of students.

organizations for everyone (example: it's a catholic school but has protestant and other faith groups). A lot of people from New York, new Jersey, and Pennsylvania (and New England), but one doesn't feel out of place being from elsewhere (i'm from Seattle and it's never been an issue). I do feel that the socio-economic status is higher than I've ever been a part of. I've never felt "poor", but I have felt out of place on campus at times when it's clear that my money is not spent in the same way as others spend theirs. A little too money-centered, all in all; students are very interested in spending money and getting a major that will earn them more money.

Alex

I think Villanova is traditionally considered very preppy, but they new freshman are a variety of students. Most students dress up to class and various different types of stuents interact with one another. Most of the students from Villanova are from New Jersey and long Island.

Margaret

4 tables = racial minorities; sororities/fraternities; dorks; other most students are from new jersey most students are wealthy some students are politically aware/active ... others are ignorant

Alex

Though a majority of the students are white, I feel like everyone can find their place to fit in no matter what. There are so many things always going on. I feel like we have mostly Conservative views. Financial background: well-to-do.
