Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Since Villanova requires all freshmen to live on campus, making friends is pretty easy. South Campus houses nearly all freshmen, allowing for the majority to be familiar with people in their classes. All of the newer freshman dorms have air-conditioning and are comfortable, but they are fairly large, holding no less than 100 people. Another downside is that they are strict about signing in guests. Moriarty and Motown are older buildings in the middle of nowhere, but students who live there become very close, and there are picnic tables and grills. On Main Campus, most of the freshman dorms are off in one corner.

The dorms are comfortable and friendly, giving students a mix between privacy and social environment. Bathrooms are always clean, and there’s rarely a wait for showers. Overall, the furniture is in good shape, and the beds are actually pretty comfortable. Whatever shortcomings rooms have, a quick touch-up with some posters and pictures makes rooms more comfortable and inviting. Some smaller dorms become communities all to themselves, and everyone becomes close. In the larger dorms, most residents have a few close friends and know a whole lot more. It all boils down to preference—if you like less people, look for dorms on Main, and if you like to know a lot of people, South is it. Living on campus is convenient and fun, and few move off before senior year.

Dorms

The Freshman and Sophomore dorms are small, but sophomore dorms' location in the center of campus is very convenient. Junior year apartments are really nice and big.
