Villanova University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Villanova University accurate?

Jennifer

None of them are

Bridget

yes i do think some are

Christine

people may seem similar on objective dimensions, but demographic measures do not fully depict the student body

Katherine

It is a fairly preppy school, and a lot of people come from New Jersey, but there are people from all over the country. If you make an effort to meet new people from new places, it is easy to do. There are a lot of minorities on campus too, and the University is making great strides to make sure that the minority population is well represented on campus in the future, as well. No, Villanova doesn't have a frat row or a ton of obvious parties on campus, but you can make your own fun. You find friends that have the same interests as you, and it is easy to find things to do. Like any campus, there are weekends where there isn't much to do, but you can just hang out with your friends and have a laid back time for a few weekends out of the semester. It's all about finding the crowd that has the same interests as you, and you will have fun.

Neither of these nicknames are true. Villanova is as fun as you make it, just like any other school. And, although Villanova is comprised mainly with white students, there are other races other than caucasians that attend.

there are some people who fit the stereotypes but there is much more diversity than most people think.
