Villanova University Top Questions

it is small

There is a really strong emphasis on community service and giving back to the community that I like. There is also a wide variety of minors offered which allows me to get a taste of a lot of different subjects without having to only focus on them. The small class sizes also gives me the opportunity to get a lot more out of my classes than I would at a bigger school.

There is a strong sense of unity on Villanova's campus. We're all very proud to be part of the "Nova Nation".

It has a beautiful and well-maintained campus.

Villanova is bigger, more prestigious.

If you are looking for a good Engineering, Business, or nursing school, Nova would be a good choice. Class sizes are small, the campus is beautiful. Don't expect to bring a car your fist 2 years. And if you are coming to party every night, Nova isn't the school for you. You will enjoy it if you are a basketball fan. Good luck!

I am under the impression that a survey like this gets the most responses from two extreme ends of the spectrum...students that really enjoy their college experience and from those that disliked it so much that they spend time getting the word out to potential applicants. Well, I cannot stress enough that Villanova has been the greatest experience in my life thus far. It has opened my eyes to what the infamous "real world" will bring without throwing me head first into fending for myself just yet. I have met fantastic people that are accepting and eager to learn as well as meet knew people and make memories that will never be forgotten. This school has made me a smarter, kinder, well rounded, and more gracious person that I never would have had the chance to become if it had not been for my families support and the Villanova community as a whole.

I really wanted to transfer after the first semester because I really don't like the kids there, but then I realized that the blame was on me. There are so many things that I wish I had gone out and done for myself. Villanova has everything I want, and I know it. I need to begin exploiting all of its resources.

Overall Villanova's experience is great, you become a wildcat and you love it. You appreciate the education you got and you regret not having done all the activities. At times however, if you do not fit the exact mold of the white, rich, catholic, mamasboy/ daddy's little princess, it can be really frustrating. Villanova is a bubble, filled with goodlooking well dressed people. If you lived out of the bubble before you got in there then you despise the people in there a little bit more, if not, when you get out of the bubble you realize how good you had it when you were in there.
