My first year here as an international student is not lonely as I expected. I got into the Learning Community Program that the university offers and it has been a meaningful experience, and also an easy way for me to connect and get to know the other freshmen coming here. This program is about first-year students choosing the same learning community in which they can live next to each other, go to the same classes, and that has made life in university much more comfortable and fun! The professors are great and kind, they always offer help when you have trouble understanding materials. The campus is beautiful, and there are many places you can stop by near Villanova. The spirit here is also fundamentally strong, can be manifested by the passion for basketball here, maybe because the school's team won the NCAA last year. Overall: Nova Nation!
Coming to Villanova has been one of the Absolutely BEST Decision I've ever made in my life!!
Super Friendly and Outgoing Student Body; Gorgeous, Safe, and Vibrant Campus; Easy Access to the City; and an Incredible Sense of School Spirit.
Villanova is an incredibly special and one of a lifetime experience. There's always so many things going on here: Basketball games, Campus events, Club events, Fundraisers, Retreats, Celebrities Visiting, Concerts, Traditions, Parties, Gatherings, Socials. I've traveled to sports games, performed with music groups, and done community service domestically and globally in both popular and exotic parts of the world hugely thanks to Villanova. Numerous clubs to find your social circle. Food's pretty good, and it's all you can eat so you'll rarely ever go hungry. Dorms are awesome!! Students really bond together and there is an incredible sense of community!!

I absolutely love it here at Nova! The atmosphere is truly that of a close knit community yet the school is still big enough to offer the alumni connections and some of the research opportunities available at bigger schools. There are so many different opportunities to get involved on campus - there truly is (many) something(s) for everyone. Orientation at Nova was absolutely spectacular and they really pulled out all the stops to welcome us. But it became clear very quickly that this would be a theme for my next four years. At Nova, you go big with school pride, or you go home. I think this was seen very clearly after we won the basketball national championships this year. We're still riding that wave of glory. Overall, there's just so much that I love about Nova and I really can't wait to find even more to love about in the three years I have left here. Ignite change, go Cats!
