What’s the difference when it comes to learning? I toured Villanova as a Junior today, Friday October, 4th 2024. First school I toured and was the only one I planned to. Now it will be the only one. I loved it that much more. Now I’ll prob do community college first for 1-2 if I need all 2 for guaranteed transfer. Now I told someone I know that I want to go Villanova University. They went to Gonzaga. Great school whatever. They said Villanova great school but said I should really go to a Jesuit school. What’s the difference? They don’t explain the Augustinian side. Only it’s a different way of thinking and the Jesuit side. Can someone please explain the differences?

I am a transfer student, going to be going to Villanova next fall. Because I am a transfer student, housing is not guaranteed.

Where do most juniors live, off campus or on campus? Also what are some nice(kinda luxury) apartments near by?

I am currently a sophomore at local community college. I love Nova and feel like it is the perfect school for me. However I would be transferring into my Junior year, fall 2025 and am super nervous about fitting in and making friends.

Anyone have any advice or have been in the same boat?

Is anyone going to see this film tomorrow with LeVel?

Yes I’m talking about iced coffee. I’m applying to Villanova and a particular coffee constantly is coming to mind. When I waiting for my campus tour I got an Iced Coffee from the cafe in the main building. It was just amazing. What do you guys think about it?

hello! i am a 2026 hs grad looking to apply early decision 1 to villanova next application cycle. currently, i am interested in the cognitive and behavioral neuroscience major. however, it is an incredibly selective program. after speaking with admissions, they said that one option is to select both cbn and exploratory science on common app when i apply, which would increase my chances of getting in.

does anyone have any experience with this program? i can’t find many details about it online, only exploratory arts (which i would assume is similar, but i could be wrong)

I'm a south asian guy from connecticut, but moved out to Abu dhabi in 8th grade for my dads job. I have 12 ap/IB hl classes on my record, and my gpa from last year is a 3.53. My superscored SAT is a 1350(690 math/660 english) however I want to retake it and try to bump both up a bit so I'm in the 1400s. As for my extra curriculars I am a officer of DEIB, I have been a CIT as a camp counselor, helped find funders for a foundation in pakistan, installed water filters in nepal, and done a business course at brown. These aren't really all of them, but off the top of my head that's all I can think of. I'm looking to apply ED1 with no financial aid and pay up front for tuition, for the fall of 2025. What do you guys think I should do, or am I cooked.

I’m a bit confused with this. I am a 2026 high school graduate. I am graduating then not going to fail or anything. I plan on going to a cc in the area near the town of villanova and then after at least 1 year transferring to villanova if needed I’ll do 2 bc I’m going to go to a school with a transfer program with villanova. If I transfer do I ever need to live on villanova’s campus? It seems like for 1-3 years you have to as a non transfer but I’ll be transferring and seems like I wouldn’t have to.

I just bombed my first bio exam, and I’m devastated. I studied for days, and the fact that I failed makes me feel as if I’m a disappointment.

I can’t check my actual exam score, but it shows my total course grade, and it’s really low, so I know I failed without a doubt. Do they add a curve? Does it get better? What are the chances of my grade increasing?

I’m so upset and feel so hopeless.

They sent me this I will post 4 pictures and then a few more. If you want all the pages lmk

I’m a low income International Student (Honduran), I have 4.0 senior year GPA and an overall 3.94 GPA, I would say decent extracurriculars: various awards at National Math, Chemistry and Physics Olympiads, I also currently volunteer as a tutor and trainer for new olympians, was school president and part of the school government for 3 years, and work as a private tutor.

I got a 1490 on the SAT, what do you think are my chances and should I go test optional? What should I do?

I’ve never been to a Nova football game before but I wanted to go to the game against Towson on Saturday. As a late Millennial/early Gen Z parking gives me anxiety. I tried going to a football game at Kentucky, another school better known for football than basketball, and parking was an absolute mess. But I know Villanova is a smaller program for football so I honestly have no idea what to expect.

When I come to walk my dog around campus, I usually park at the SEPTA station where parking has been free since COVID and I believe still is on weekends, so I was thinking of parking there but I don’t know if it will fill up on game day. I could also park at the train station in Gulph Mills and take the high speed line down. Failing anything else I could take the Norristown line into the city and then take the Paoli line out to Villanova but that would probably take way longer. Is there parking near the stadium that you can pay for? What’s my best bet?

Is 1460 SAT (670 790) & 101 IBT (26 27 24 24) Okay for an international student to apply for VU?

I pretty sure that I will require FA as well.

Hello! I am a high school senior in California. I applied to nova up close but they said that they can't fund me for my trip since I am out of the region but still can participate if i pay for my flight. Will Nova up close help me to get into villanova? Is it worth of paying for the flight? I have 4.25 weighted gpa with 4.0 uw but 1330 sat which I won't submit. I have some ecs tho. Applying for sociology major. Thx!

I am an international students in Vietnam, just took the SAT August and got 1430 and will retake to get superscore around 1460-1480. I have 3.76/4 gpa and 7.5 ielts. I also a basketball club president, core member of student volunteer organization and joined some business case competitions, MOS, Economic Olympiad national level. I also have an internship last year with a travel agency and a part time job for a sports centre. Is there any chances I get into and have some aid/scholarships?

Hypothetically if I wanted to order food delivery to my dorm on south campus would it re-route to the guard shack on main like it does for Lyft/Uber rides? Or will they just leave the food outside the door of my dorm?

TIA!

Does Villanova take AP credits?

I have a question pertaining to owning/using a bike on campus.

I’m interested in having my parents bring my bike when they come for parents weekend, however I want to understand the rules for bikes on Villanova campus. I’ve yet to actually see anyone on a bike here nor have I seen many, if any, bike racks.

1- do people bike to campus here 2- can you bike on the paths to class 3- overall what is the vibe for biking at Villanova

Hi all I’m currently at a school where people go out on weekdays and I’m really not about that. I am planning on transferring to Villanova, but I’m just wondering what the drinking/party culture is like?

I want to transfer to Villanova next fall as a mechanical engineering student. I’m retaking some gen Ed’s this year at my local community college and local university to raise my gpa. Can you guys give me advice on what Villanova looks for in people wanting to transfer as mechE students?
