Rating 3.73 out of 5 1,569 reviews
Speaking as a black non-athlete I fully have to say that this has been a largely miserable experience. What caught me off guard was how staff and the community surrounding the campus acts. First week when I was there I had white people trying to assault me, I heard constant use of the N word, and people assumed I was only there on an athletic scholarship. At one point FINAID went on vacation without disbursing grant money leading to me and MANY graduate students (which are all underpaid and on average come from less socioeconomically advantaged backgrounds anyway) not being paid til almost a month. This lead to me being late on rent and accruing late fees. Later I had to get financial aid to cover my final semester, but the financial aid department consistently ignored my emails for weeks, and only fixed the problem when I physically came in, during the last meeting that I had to come in to physically I was told "Next time you can just send an email". UNPROFESSIONAL. I was homeless...
Academically challenging, professors and incredible and all classes are stimulating. Tons of resources for students, both for academic challenges and for achieving career goals. The student/teacher ratio is excellent and students have the opportunity to get the personalized feedback they they need to succeed. The social life on campus is the only thing that drags it down; Greek life forms an elitist environment (especially for girls, I have seen rejection from greek life become socially disastrous) resulting in the vast majority of the students being extremely pretentious and unlikeable.
A campus that offers all you could want to become the best version of yourself. In a safe suburb outside of Philadelphia, you will be immersed in a student body that motivates you to become an active member in the community. From volunteer groups, athletics, and greek life, there is a place for you to call home. The professors are always there to help guide you on your academic journey and to set you up for success for life after Villanova. As always, go Cats!
