The Deal
Article written by an anonymous user.
Villanova is set in a suburb of Philadelphia. It takes about 15 or 20 minutes to drive to downtown Philly from campus. The location is a feature of the school because it is close enough to a major city for one to experience city life while having the safety of a suburban setting.
It is off of the Main Line which is a hub of shopping, restaurants, and entertainment just outside of downtown.
Villanova is both a private and an expensive school. The majority of the kids that attend the university tend to be upper middle class.
The school is not very diverse. It is 85% Caucasian which has caused the school to be nicknamed "Vanilla-nova." The better part of the student body can be categorized as preppy. However students say that there is not a great deal of snobbery on campus. It is a pretty friendly atmosphere. The best way to get a feel for the student body is to visit campus.

- Villanova University is a private university located in Radnor Township, a suburb northwest of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. Founded in 1842 by the Augustinian monastic order, the university can trace its roots back to old Saint Augustine's Church in Philadelphia, which the Augustinians founded in 1796, and to its parish school, Saint Augustine's Academy, which was established in 1811. Villanova is the oldest and largest Catholic university in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
