Villanova University Top Questions

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

A majority of Villanova students are from wealthy backgrounds, predominately white. Most females dress very nicely for class.

Villanova's student body overall is still very ignorant and scared to go outside their high school walls; therefore is you're not a white, upper-middle class conservative heterosexual you will find it very hard to adjust to life at Villanova. Must students dress up in $1000 outfits sadly. Rarely do different types of students interact unless in concerns athletics. Four tables: 1. Athletes 2. White Males 3. White females 4. Non-white students. Most students are from PA, NJ, NY. Most students are politically aware and active and mainly conservative repulicans.

UNBELIEVABLE

Community is not just lip-service...we mean it!

A lot of students are from prosperous backgrounds, but you'll still meet plenty of down to earth students as well

The student body is a lot more diverse than people realize. The students just perpetuate the homogenous stereotype of our school.

I myself feel that Villanova is well-diversified. I believe that everyone could find a place in Villanova's community, but should be warned before-hand about the preppiness factor. Students wear everything, from high-heels, polos, dresses to sweatpants and t-shirts to class. Different types of students do interact. There are Villanova students from everywhere, but the majority that I have met are from the tri-state area, Conneticut, Massachusetts, and California. The most prevalent financial backgrounds are middle to high-class families, but again, there are all different financial backgrounds. Students are somewhat politically aware/active, finding left, right and center throughout campus. Students' financial futures are deifnitely discussed.

most from jersey and new york and PA the tri-state area mostly wealthy, moderate political views, heavily career oriented student body

I would say a very good amount of people at Villanova are Catholic, but many of those don't practice and don't care about church or anything to do with it. So don't think that if you're not Catholic you won't fit in, the worst part is just when you're not Catholic and you have to take theology and you don't know who Jesus' apostles are, while everyone else does. Most kids are really preppy, not so much popped collars, but think jcrew cardigans, lots of argyle, sheersucker printed stuff and just expensive clothing all around. Everyone is very concerned with their image, and a lot of girls get up extra early in the morning to make sure they look like they're about to hit the runway. It seems that most kids are really rich, and if they actually aren't, they still make sure their wardrobes reflect it. Everytime i see someone who looks a bit alternative, aka skinny jeans, american apparel hoodies and cool hair, i can't help but feel bad because they just look so out of place amongst the jcrew catalogue models next to them. There are also normal kids who are pretty cool, and then there are those who are really into service trips and habitat for humanity and that sort of thing. Villanova is known for its service oreinted students, so those types of people can easily fit in as well.

Completely depends on what group of people you are hanging out with
