Villanova University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Villanova University accurate?

Jill

Most of the time no

Amy

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.

Ann

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.

Morgan

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.

bill

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

Brett

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.

Jess

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.

Katie

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

Chris

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.

meg

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.
