Villanova University Top Questions

Most of the time no

I think they are accurate but not to the extreme that most people think. Villanova is not a good school for partying and its students are not very diverse.

On some level, there's a huge contingent of Villanova kids who fit into this stereotype, but not everyone does. There are tons of service trips and opportunities on campus, which the majority of students participate in, and while people do focus in on careers and assume they'll be loaded sometime later in life, they do work hard and try to give back at the same time.

To a certain extent yes, but great deal of peace a justice activity on campus which makes the student body more aware of their surroundings then they were from their upbringing.

no. there are so many different types of people here. the student community is very friendly and we have great school spirit.

to some extent-there are a lot of kids here who come from very wealthy families, and the population is mostly caucasian. however, the students here are not stuck up at all.

Many of the students at Villanova are well-off but not all, and the stereotype that we cant do a lot to have fun here is true, at least on campus. we can never have any parties on campus, even if we're 21.

They certainly don't describe everyone but it isn't difficult to understand why we get such stereotypes

The first two yes. Villanova is a basketball school, and is predominantly white. However, though there are some stuck up rich kids at Villanova, I don't think there are any more than at any other school. There are tons of your average joes, getting financial aide and scholarships to attend and are grateful as hell for it.

Yes, for the most part I think they are. There is definitely a certain way people are perceived here because of the way they show off their money through clothes, bags, etc. The people you know really does matter when it comes to getting involved on campus.

Not completely, because there are a variety of people here with all different backgrounds.

No

While there are people who would fall into the above category, Villanova students are so much more. Many are interested in service and a surprising number of students participate in service break trips all over the country and the world during the fall, winter and spring breaks. Many students are politically aware and there are strong college republican and college democrat clubs on campus. In addition, there are organizations formed dealing with issues such as AIDS to the crisis in Darfur. Sports are popular on campus and everyone follows the school basketball team enthusiastically. Intramurals are popular as well.

yes

The skinny white girls who do coke, is partially true. Villanova is starting to change because more kids are getting denied and the freshmen are getting smarter. There are normal cool kids here but you have to search for them.

To a degree, it does appear that many of the students here are from wealthy white homes

not 100 {4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}, but close

Just as all stereotypes are based in truth, some aspects of these stereotypes are true. At any university, especially one where tuition is over $45000 a year, there will be students from rich families. And some of those students will be arrogant about their money. That is not, however, a generalization about all Villanova students. Villanova is a school with difficult classes and weeknights are often nights filled with meetings and work. However, there are plenty of parties at Villanova if that's what you're into.

yes sir

I'd say it pretty much lives up to this reputation.
