Villanova University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Villanova University accurate?

Michelle

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

Beth

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.

Ashley

yes

Jamie

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.

Cameron

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.

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