A person who want to go to a huge school should not go here. Villanova isn't tiny but its on the smaller side.

The classes are very thought-provoking. Anyone who can't handle having to work hard and be able to balance their work and play should not come here.

None of the above or it'll get even weirder.

Anyone who is very closed off or mean-spirited. Villanova is incredibly community-focused and values friendships and relationships that last.

Students here are very competitive; however, students want to win to achieve and excel personally rather than to beat or "out-do" others.
