I am going to be honest, the majority of students at Villanova are white. And the majority of the students are from the Northeast; New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. California, ironically is the 4th most represented state after those three. The majority of students went to private Catholic schools. So if you are a student that doesn't fall into any of those categories, you are unique in a way. Racially, after the white students, Asians and African Americans are represented. Now there is no racial tension; everyone gets along and has no problem with one another. But some of the ethnic groups do, naturally stay together most of the year. Now the style is basically prep, but not to the extent of a BC or Vanderbilt. Most kids will have a few polos, but they don't dress like that to class. Most people are casual and have some style. It is easy to pick out kids from the West Coast as they sport their graphic tees and designer jeans. Most of the students have money and come from succesfull parents or families. But the majority of the students don't flaunt their money and you would never know they were loaded. There are exceptions, but most of the students have a level head about it which is great. Villanova is a predominatly liberal-republican school. The majority of the students are more right. We keep up on the political campign and are jumping on the bandwagon with the green effect. As the students get older, they start talking about Wallstreet and politics more. I know this year I have been envlolved in a few heated politcal debates with some buddies over dinner. A year previous to that, I would have never been arguing about such things.
