Villanova University

Villanova, while not a huge university, has many different sub-groups. There are the preps, nyc kids, punk kids, stoners, and (unfortunately like most Catholic schools) a minority of jesus freaks. However, I have never felt that Villanova is cliquey. Everyone can and usually does hang out with everyone. People are friendly and the campus is a welcoming place. There is also plenty to do on campus, in Bryn Mawr and of course Philly!

Despite the conservative reputation, students and the administration have become increasingly more liberal (coinciding with the increase in qualified, competitive and intelligent students enrolling). Besides the occasional priest caught milling around campus, it is hard to tell that it is a Catholic School. While hardcore religious people gripe, students don't seem to mind and enjoy the separation from religion in their daily lives. What goes on at Villanova socially is very similiar to any other private university of the size. Do not be fooled!

Overall, Villanova has been a wonderful experience thus far. It has great academics and a wonderful campus. Villanova also boasts an excellent reputation in the business and academic world. I would definately recommend the experience!
