Villanova University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Villanova University accurate?

Mike

Yes

Blake

yes, for the most part, there are certainly people who meet the "villanova girl" and "villanova boy" ideas.

Ali

in many cases, yes

Tori

Not at all.

Bernadette

Stereotypes are always based on a small sect of the population, and of course there are people at Nova who fit into the stereotype mold. But most of the students (even ones who may come off as fake and obnoxious) are caring and really sweet.

Adam

Perhaps a majority but not true for all students

Caroline

In general, yes.

We are a predominantly white school and there are many elite schools in the country that are similar. Religion is not everything here. The school doesnt keep track on the population that is Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, etc because the school emphasizes that it is a choice and nobody should feel pressured by what other people are.

James

Sort of, but it's chaning

Allison

for the majority, yes

Ryan

I guess to some extent. They wouldn't be stereotypes if they weren't somewhat true. Most of the people at Villanova are really nice and genuinely good people though.

Devin

no, villanova is extremely fun if you make it fun which is how every school is, so maybe they don't have a row of frat houses on campus so you can go partying but doing that isn't necessary for fun. And everyone is not rich.

Rob

No, there is some diversity although not that much. Also, there is plenty of fun to be had.

Jessica

overall, villanova is a relatively wealthy school that is certainly predominately white, although the diversity on campus has increased over the past few years. the party stereotype is not as accurate, villanova is probably right on par with most schools in that department. the upcoming election has really sparked a lot of political conversation and surprisingly, there are a lot more democrats than i thought on campus.

Kelly

only a small minority

Lauren

Sometimes

Becca

Only a small percentage fill this category.

Hayley

as far as appearances go, yes.

Daniel

Yes and No. There are two halfs to the Villanova Community. One half is exactly like the stereotype, preps who do nothing at villanova but party for four years. But there is another half that do everything at nova from break trips to the villanovan to special olymipics and balloon day.
