A lot of high achievers - everyone is really involved. this is great because there are a lot of opportunities, and many things to get involved in. Basketball is huge, and people have a ton of school spirit when it comes to games. It's pretty campus-centered, most people stay on campus, especially for the first 3 years.

I love Villanova. Everything about it is amazing from the people, to sports, to extracurriculars. It is just the right size and if I could change one thing it would be having the dining halls open until later hours. There is a lot of school pride especially with the basketball team.

Villanova should be more fun, in terms of on-campus parties

Administration - I have no problem with them
Biggest recent controversy - freshman orientation comedian
School Pride - yes
Unusual - Catholic Mass with all my friends
Experience -Catholic Mass with all my friends
Frequent Complaint - need more food options; keep gym and library open later

The campus is gorgeous! The people who live here are great, fun, and easygoing (definitely qualities others don't perceive about us). We're actually more diverse than people give us credit for; just because a majority of the students are white doesn't mean everyone is still different from everyone else. People here all seem rich. I feel that the professors are all great in some way: interaction with students, knowing the material, and being personable. Of course, you're not going to like all your teachers, but so far, I haven't had a problem with anyone. I feel that administration is a bit hard to get in touch with, and even somewhat intimidating. But student helpers (assistants, etc) are a great way to get help!

Villanova is the perfect size, not too small, and not too big. Just right. There is an overwhelming amount of Villanova pride, which brings students together to some extent. It is definitely a college town, enclosed in the suburban area only 20 minutes away from central Philadelphia.

The best thing about Villanova is its potential.
I would change the overall perception of Villanova beginning with the people already in attendance.
The school is just right.
People are suprised that I attend Villanova and even more suprised that I love it here despite its much needed improvements.
I spend most of my time in the CMA office or with friends by the oreo.
Villanova's administration has some work to do in terms of who and what they want to represent.
School pride is amazing here.

LOVE IT! Could go on for hours

Villanovans really do care about their world and local communities. It's amazing to see how they reach out to those in need and use their gifts and talents to better society.

A lot of students complain about the food selection & parking spots (or lack thereof)
