Student Activities Are Abundant

The student center is just one example of how much there is available to Villanova students. Inside there are various lounges, including one with ping pong tables, pool tables, and plenty of couches and outlets for an excellent study break. Not to mention the food in the student center is quite good, ranging from BBQ ribs to coffee and muffins. There is also a movie rental store where students can rent all of the most current movies and TV shows along with everything one needs for the ideal movie experience. If that's not enough there are frequently new and classic movies shown in the Cinema as well as other performances. This is just the student center, there is a great deal more available on campus or off campus through our Campus Activities Team. Such as various plays and musicals on campus, midnight showings of the hottest new movies, shuttles that take students to the second largest mall in America (which is just a 15 minute drive away), as well as the great number of sports games held on and off campus.

Beautiful Campus

Some buildings are a bit old, but come spring and winter time...when the flowers and trees are all in bloom or the snow is covering its buildings, Villanova's campus is of perfection. And now with the projected construction, I believe that it will be even more aesthetically pleasing and much easier to navigate one's way around the campus

Good Variety of Facilities

There is a great variety of athletic centers, study areas, and places to get food. There are 3 different gyms, one on each campus. (South, main, and west campus) While the gym on main campus is the best, all three have modern equipment and a lot to offer. There are 2 pools, a number of basketball courts (indoor and outdoor),volleyball courts (indoor and outdoor), and tennis courts open to all students. There are so many intermural sports offered. The library can get very crowded, particularly during exams, however there are so many other areas to study. You can study in any open classroom, study rooms, student centers, dorm lounges, and dining halls. There are various eateries on campus to fit any taste. Coffee shops, grilled food shops, sandwich stations, salad bars, italian kitchen, ice cream/smoothie shop, convience stores, and 3 dining halls. One of the most popular meeting places for students is Connelly Center, where students can study, get food, get involved in activities, go to lectures, shoot pool, or grab coffee.
