Villanova University Top Questions

Its mostly white. Most kids are wealthy and dress well. Political/social activism on campus is basically dead, most kids haven't the faintest clue of what's going on, hence the term "the Villanova bubble." The causes we back are sometimes downright ridiculous. Villanova tries too hard to cater to its minorities, and the end result is somewhere between pathetic and downright patronizing. This school does not need to be celebrating Muslim holidays by offering traditional middle east fare in its dining halls.

I would have to say that most of the students here are fairly wealthy. Also, our school is Catholic. Sometimes it does seem as if we don't have too much of a variety. Even though we don't have many ethnicities, religions or diverse groups, the ones that do exist interact well with everyone. All students are very accepting and do not judge people based on race, religion or socio-economics. Most students are from New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Massachussets.

One of the most unique things about Villanova's student body is their dedication to serve others. While Villanova students, party hard and study hard, one of their passions is giving back to the community. Service Break Trips are one of the most popular things to do here on campus, and people come back from them saying it was the best thing they have done at college. Service is definitely a big part of what the students like to do here at Villanova. Most Villanova students are from New York, New Jersey, or Massachusetts. Those are definitely the top three responses that you will get from students here. For the most part people are from the Northeast, though there are people who come from all over the country. There is also a large Puerto Rican population at Villanova as the University does a lot of recruiting with international students. Villanova students for the most part are very preppy. Walking around campus can sometimes be like walking around a J-Crew or Ralph Lauren magazine, but not everyday. Fridays or any day when its cold or rainy, it usually looks like everyone rolled out of bed and just made it to class in time. There really isn't much in between on the campus, people either dress way up, or dress way down. While the preppy attire may lead one to thing the school is a bit snobbish, you'll mostly find that this isn't true. Students on the campus are for the most part very approachable and willing to help.
