Villanova is exactly what you could need in a school. Competitive academics with encouraging professors. A wonderful sense of community, and if you like to party there is a time and a place. Yet, every Villanovan is doing homework on Sunday's and most find time on Saturday's to get some work done as well.

It's not for everyone, it's not a party school if you're a freshman guy you're not getting into anything without knowing someone, if you are fine with spending the weekends with a group of friends or going into the city to party rather than on-campus then you'll be great. It has a really high price tag but in my experience, they have been generous with grants making it economically feasible to be there. Diversity is an interesting topic, many complain the ratio is low, and it is, but everyone is accepting and there are clubs and activities to celebrate culture along with a high number of foreign students. Plus go to a rich school and meet rich people, a great opportunity to make connections.
