Villanova University Top Questions

Villanova is a great size. You see people you know when you walk around. Yet when you go out on the weekends you can still meet new people. People here have fun, but they could have a little less uptight. Villanova's administration works hard to make everything very personal. They are usually pretty easy to get in contact with. We do NOT live in a college town. Radnor is about as evil as they come. There is a TON of school pride, especially with our basketball time recently making the Sweet Sixteen! woohoo! Overall, I'm proud to go to Nova.

I love the student masses at Villanova. I did not like church at home and now the one thing I don't want to leave behind are these student masses with standing room only and wonderful student musicians. There are a wide variety of service opportunities on campus, in fact this is one of the most service oriented schools I know of or have heard of, and we exceed others by a lot. That culture and the community here makes Villanova a very welcoming place.

there's definitely a lot of school pride here. villanova is a pretty prestigious university, and aside from priding itself in continuously top-ranked competitive programs, villanova also takes great pride in its athletics, particularly basketball. being a part of the nova nation is a huge factor that helps you to feel welcomed and included when you arrive on campus as a freshman.

By your senior year, Villanova is like being in high school all over again. You see the same people at the same places. I think Villanova is a little bit too small, but then again they don't really have any room to expand because the surrounding neighborhood HATES Villanova students, yet they choose to reside so close to us. Odd.

Good size... I'm not terribly proud to say I go to Villanova, a lot of times you get the reaction you would if you say your from Jersey. No college town. Pride during Bball season. Theres a lot of superficial BS here.

I would make Villanova more diverse. I haven't been able to meet different kinds of people from different parts of the world. It's not international at all.

I think that Villanova is the perfect size, walking from one end of campus you can't help but see at least 2 people you know but with that there are 100 people you have never seen before. There is no way that you could ever know eeveryone in the school or even in your grade but you will know almost everyone from someone who knows someone who knows someone. MOre and more when I tell people that I am in the Villanova School of Business they are visibly impressed. VSB has developed a great reputation with employers and the public alike.

Great size, classes are small, but always can meet new people. Great opportunities to get involved. Not the greatest party school.

I have to say that there is something very special about this campus that I have had a lot of trouble putting my finger on. I don't know whether it is the emphasis on community at this school or the spirit that spreads like rapid fire when we rally around the basketball team, but there is something about this school that I tend to notice is missing from my high school friends' college experiences. Maybe it is the fact that everyone feels the need to be involved in some way on campus. I can't say that I know a single person that isn't involved with something here (whether it be the tour guides, special olympics, greek life, orientation, student government, habitat for humanity, etc.). Maybe it is the fact that even though this school has over 6000 people, everyone still knows everyone else. You can't walk from one end of the campus to the other without stopping to say hi to at least ten people. There is just this incredible aspect of community that I have not seen at any other school I have gone to visit or heard about from any of my friends back home.

perfect size - get to know a lot of people but never know anyone. people love nova, so excited. great to be close to philly. SO MUCH school pride it's awesome! will always remember leading search (retreat) and going on break trips. some complain about not enough partying, most say you can find what you want.
