Villanova University's campus is a major draw for the school. It is a 254 acre campus on Pennsylvania's Main Line. Because of the suburban setting, the campus is spread out. Most of the buildings are stone and have an old-fashioned feel while others have a more modern look. Amid the vast greenery throughout the campus is a one of every kind of tree that can survive in Philadelphia's climate, including a Redwood. The campus takes about 15 minutes to walk from one end to the other. In most cases, you will not have to walk further than five minutes to get from your campus residence to class.
