I really enjoyed attending Villanova University. From the rich diversity on campus to the array of extracurricular activities available to students, I felt both challenged and at home on campus.
I was able to participate in various programs through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Campus Ministry, the Center for Peace and Justice Education, etc. Basketball games, French Club, and missions trips were all integral aspects of my experience at Villanova.
The academics at Villanova cannot be rivaled. Both of my undergraduate professors were attentive, understanding, challenging, and willing to engage with me as a student. I am still in contact with both of them ten years later and feel lucky to have been supported by them both through my academic career at Villanova. I appreciated being able to connect the passions I have in different academic areas all together!
I would highly recommend Villanova University to any interested student!

The community and faculty are amazing! Everyone is willing and always seeking to help, encourage, love, and support others. It's an amazing environment and I am so thankful for my time and experience, especially transferring in my junior year. If I could do it all over again, I would have gone since freshmen year. Nonetheless, my experience was one to remember. Plus, with a stellar and fun basketball team to root for, it makes it all the more exciting!
Villanova projects an ideology that seems appealing at first, but ultimately fails to reach its claims of diversity, inclusion, and overall quality. This institution caters to a specific type of student; one that is white and privileged. It fails to generate spaces in which the students who do not fit into this mold are represented. When they do acknowledge these students, its performative, just ways that they can say they're diverse, but do not support these students. In general, I find that many students do not seem interested in educating themselves on the issues of biopic students. However, there are some faculty members who truly do show their ally ship.
-party scene is available to you if youre in greek life
-food is average
-many required courses that are pointless
- questionable inclusivity( EX: lack of sex education or reminders for safe sex due to religious beliefs. Not saying these ideas are bad, however, but does not pertain to all students and is dangerous.)
