Villanova University Top Questions

there is as much diversity as you want to make there be. you can go to any college in the united states and hang out with people exactly like you, or you can go to a college and meet people who are not like you - but on the whole, the people at villanova are all somewhat similar. it is not a huge house party school but that doesnt stop it from being incredibly fun, you just have to know the rigth places to go

ummmm... for a large portion of the student body yes. Even for many students who wouldn't naturally fall inot these stereotypes, it seems as though they try to become them.

is predominatly white middle to upper class

For the most part, yes.

Actually, there are kids of many different races and from all over the world in my classes. They speak English and their native languages. Yes, there is a majority of white students but these students are from far and wide. Everyone comes into Villanova as an individual. No one can or wants to gang up on anyone or take sides with anyone. Everyone gets along at Villanova because we are all so different and unique and have a mutual understanding of this. About the sports and partying, Villanova does care a lot about sports, but students never place sports ahead of academics nor does Villanova itself. It costs way too much money to party and shrug off school work. Everyone I know at Villanova takes work very seriously because we all have a goal to do something grand with our lives, something much bigger than sports and parties. Whereas there will always be more parties and sports games to go to anytime in life, Villanova is a once in a lifetime opportunity and this is understood by pretty much everyone here. As for drinking, I don't know because I don't live on campus (I am a commuter) and am not a drinker myself. But from what I see on facebook (a website with profiles of many students from Villanova) it looks like a lot of students like to drink. I would advise other students to make wise decisions about school and not to drink, especially if they are under 21. Despite the drinking, students still manage to do well because they put work ahead of partying as I said before.

While the majority of Villanova students are white there is still a great amount of diversity as students come from all over including tons of overseas locations. We have students from Iraq, Bangladesh, England, Singapore, Puerto Rico, and so many more random countries and places. The people that call Villanova Villa-no-fun are obviously the people that either don't go here or are bitter that they didn't get in. There is so much to do on weekends and there are so many colleges in the area that if you can't find something here you can somewhere close by. The girls at nova are not your typical sweatpants everyday college students, in the spring and fall its dresses everyday and our new student gym is one of the most popular places on campus because overall Villanovans look good.

Sometimes, but I have found that Villanova has way more diversity than I had thought I would encounter.

Mostly.

VillaNo Fun is completely wrong-if you dont get involved and make an effort, maybe this could be true, but I havnt had to try hard to have an amazing time so far. VanillaNova-Villanova does have a high white population, but they are starting to integrate more diversity into campus. And also, minorities dont have a hard time of fitting in usually.

While a great many students fit this profile, if one explores the campus you can find many different people with varied interests and styles. It just takes a little effort.
