Predominately White
Villanova University is overwhelming white on appearance and ethnic groups tend to socialize only with themselves. The student body also seems to be mostly from upper-middle and upper class. However, there also is a move towards a more diversified and integrated student body. Within the four years in which I was a student, the freshman body seemed much more diverse than my graduating class. With the proximity to Philadelphia, many students work and volunteer with diverse groups, which leads to a unique for of empathy and service very evident on campus.
