Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

While parking illegally, having candles in your dorm room, and playing hall sports are things that RAs and the campus police are strict about, the thing that can get you in the most trouble is drugs and alcohol. Villanova once carried the title of a party school, but the administration has taken steps over the years to make it more and more difficult for students to drink. If you are smart about it and you aren’t noisy, you and your friends can have a fun night without running the risk of getting in trouble. However, if you get even remotely noisy, there is a good chance you’re going to get caught. Any alcohol-related offense runs up a fine and a course in alcohol education, so it’s better to avoid them completely.

The University carries strict penalties, but if you are smart and responsible, this won’t happen often enough to worry about them. Remember to be careful about what you become involved with and think carefully about whether or not your actions are worth the consequences that will most likely follow. Most of the students on campus are smart and responsible enough to know the limits, so for that reason, nothing ever really gets out of control.

Not Bad

Campus strictness isn't terrible. I know someone who has been written up 4 times in a semester and he just had a fine and some community service hours to do.

Pretty Strict

It can be pretty strict at Villanova. Usually, if you are written up twice for alcohol you get a hefty fine plus a meeting with the dean of students. I think you have to take some classes too. If you are written up more than 5 times, you will be suspended. IF you get caught with weed, except a huge fine and meeting with the dea or expect to be expelled

Public Safety Dudes Are Harsh

We're a catholic school, so yeah, they're pretty strict. As freshman it's especially hard because they even have a curfew on how late you can be with the opposite sex. Public safety is really strict but usually the RA's are chill.
