Villanova University Top Questions

Not particularly. Although Villanova is a predominantly white school, we have our fair share of minorities represented in our student body. There are many organizations on campus for these students and they continue to grow as Villanova expands its range of students. One of my friends is the first Vietnamese student to come to Villanova. As for the way of dress, I would say it is very similar to other college campuses in that students first bring an array of styles to the campus, but after a while, everyone seems to mesh together and form the unique Villanova style. As for the Villanofun nickname, the safety is strict, but that is completely understandable in light of the Virginia Tech killings of last year. It is important to keep the students safe, but that is not to say that the students at Villanova do not have fun on the weekends. Some schools are "pack-up" schools, but most students stay at Villanova on the weekends. I know I only went home for doctor's appointments, and I would have rather stayed on campus, because the atmosphere is amazing.

yes

Somewhat, but the students are not all stuck up and there could be more diversity i guess.

The campus is working on diversity. Also, a lot of the students come from modest family backgrounds and are very down to earth.

Villanova is diverse, but the majority is white. I haven't witnessed or personally experienced problems of diversity. Many students do present themselves in class with an image of belonging to a higher culture or social background.

To a point- it can get expensive to go out to parties since you have to pay for cabs or train tickets to get to parties, but really it's as fun as you make it.

for the most part yes.

No, not really.

no

well I think that there is some truth to them but a majority of the students at Villanova are genuinely nice people and very into community service. I think Novafest this past weekend definitely proved the "Villanofun" nickname wrong.
