Villanova has 18 dormitory style residence halls and 8 apartment style residence halls. The halls are located on the main, south, and west campuses. Freshmen sophomores and juniors can live on campus. The seniors that can live on campus are nursing majors, female engineering majors and scholarship recipients whose scholarship allows for it.

The housing lottery is based on when you send your deposit in; that is your chance of being able to live in your first or second choice housing depends on when the school receives your housing deposit. All campus housing has resident advisors. Students say that the involvement of RA's decreases as you rise in class level. Freshmen will have the most involved RA's and they will become increasingly less with sophomores and so on. All of the beds in campus housing are standard twin but extra-long mattresses can be requested and are distributed based on need.

All of the dorms on South Campus house only freshmen with the exception of Good Counsel where both freshmen and sophomores live.

Caughlin and McGuire are twin buildings that house 120 residents each. Katharine and St. Monica are next to each other and 160 students live in each building. Good Counsel is co-ed by wing and about 240 freshmen and sophomores live in this hall.

It has a coffee shop, a fitness center, and basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts. Donahue hall is the place to eat when you live on South campus. It offers a deli, grill, pizza, salad bar, dessert bar, and made-to-order Chinese. There is also a convenience store that stays open late. Each student living in the room has a bed, desk, desk chair, desk shelves, and a wardrobe with drawers or a closet and dresser. The rooms are not very big, but freshmen dorms at most schools will not be giant suites.

Students say that South Campus is a great place to live your freshmen year because you are in the same position as everyone else who is starting at a new school. They say that it is really easy to meet people and make new friends during your first year. There are plenty of mixer activities planned by the halls to allow for this. Stanford Hall is not the newest building on campus but it is a favorite for students because they feel that you meet so many more people and there is always something going on. The opposite is true with Moriarty; many former residents feel that they were "cut off" from the other freshmen and it was a bit harder to meet new people.
