Hi everyone! I’m planning on taking a day trip to visit the campus with my family, and I’m looking for recommendations on what we should do / see!

Drop the prettiest spots to walk / sit, the best places for lunch and where to shop (I need merch lol).

For context I’ll be bringing my grandma - I really want her to see the best spots on campus, but she has limited mobility. Are there any accessible (meaning with the blue wheelchair symbol) parking spaces on campus?

Finali - in general, what’s the parking situation like for a visitor?

Thank you!

I’m an occupational therapy student at Drexel U and I live in NE Philly rn but I have a 3 month full time rotation at VU Jan 2026. If I drive, it’ll take me upwards of 1 hour 40 mins everyday to and from. Any idea where I can look for subleases?

I am helping to organize a fundraiser for the National PKU Alliance in Philadelphia this Saturday, and one of our many auction items is two tickets to a Villanova men's basketball home game of the winner's choice. If you are interested in bidding online on the tickets or anything else this week, please check out our site: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/ltlphilly/items/

Thanks for taking a look!

Hey guys, quick look at where the Wildcats stand after a tough few weeks.

The 28-21 loss to Colgate knocked Nova out of the top 25, and it was the third one-score result in a row. A 17-16 win at Bucknell, a 20-16 win at LIU, and now a seven-point loss to a Colgate team that's playing really well. Add the 35-32 opener loss to W&M, and four of the five games have been decided by a touchdown or less.

At 2-3 and 1-2 in the Patriot League, there's still plenty of season left, but the margin is thin. Today is Morgan State at home at 1 PM on ESPN+, a chance to reset before the Patriot League gets serious: at Fordham, then No. 6 Lehigh comes to Villanova Stadium on Oct 24.

Since it's in the title: we run a free weekly college football pick'em, and Week 5 locks at noon ET today, an hour before kickoff. 10 games, pick the winners, nothing to buy, $135 in prizes. Good slate too, with Bama at Miss State (both unbeaten) and Ohio State at unbeaten Iowa.

What are you guys seeing in year 10 under Mark Ferrante? Is it the offense, or just bad luck in close games?

Can you guys help me decide if Villanova EA is realistic for me? Visited in the spring and loved it. Want to major in finance.

Thank you!

Hi there. I'm doing some research for an interview series and am looking for any information relating to a motel probably near Villanova - it was back in the mid 60s - and this place was so seedy and funky, it was comical.

Backstory is, my friend educator Ladd McIntosh brought a couple of his bands to compete at the Villanova Jazz Festival in late February, 1966. Ladd tasked one of the band members to secure the accommodations and he came up with THE BENTWOOD VILLA.

Ladd ultimately found the experience so comical, he wrote a song about it BENTWOOD VILLA REVISITED. I'm producing the interview with Ladd and trying to get any information about this place I can.

Anything you have will help: approximate locations, nearby landmarks, neighborhoods, etc. - even a matchbook - (you never know) would be phenomenal.

Thank you!

Please feel free to message me / reply with any questions or advice you want to know about the major or selection process. I’m obviously not a member of the committee who selects people but I have spoken to the chairwoman about what they look for in applications to the program!

Hello, I am a student not at VU but USF. I am looking into a school to take thermodynamics or mechanics of solids at over the Summer. I've seen that, in the past, Villanova has offered mechanics of solids over the Summer, but not consistently. I really need to know as soon as possible if I will be able to take thermo/mos here; does anybody know when the Summer courses for the following year are released?

Im planning to switch majors to criminology for reasons I wont get into (pretty long), but I'm wonderng what the professors are like and what the coursework load is like? If you have anything at all to say about the program please let me know im very interested.

Comes out tomorrow but paid subscribers got lists today. Not me but someone on the US News thread said Villanova is #42 - that's a HUGE jump. V's up.

Hi everyone! I’ll be moving to Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and I’m currently looking for an affordable apartment or a roommate/flatmate to share an apartment with.
A little about me - I’m a 27-year-old female, easygoing, clean, and pretty chill. I’m also happy to provide references from my previous roommate/flatmate if needed.
I’m open to sharing an apartment with other students/young professionals in or around Bryn Mawr and would love to find something reasonably priced.
I’m fairly new to the area, so if you’re looking for a roommate, planning to move to Bryn Mawr, or know of any available apartments/rooms, please feel free to DM me!
Any leads or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm an aerospace engineer professionally but am currently enrolled at Villanova as a graduate student in a different program. Some faculty from Villanova visited my work and said they just spun up a Masters in AE and were selling us on it.

Is anyone in this program and can speak to the quality and their experience? My employer's lifetime tuition reimbursement could cover a second masters degree, so I may consider enrolling if the quality is high enough.

I came here knowing that it would be harder for me to make friends since I come from a lower in come backround and most of the people here are very wealthy, but I didn't think it would be this bad. I have gone to numerous clubs, talked to people, played pick up baskeball, watched football in common rooms, I feel like ive tried everything and I have like 2 friends. These aren't even good friends its more just people I see a lot and talk to but we dont really have much in common and I don't see the friendships lasting too long. I feel like im looking in on everyone elses fun and I cry often which I hate because I can't remember the last time I cried before coming here. Has anyone here experienced something similar to this their first year and does it get better, or should I just transfer? I would be transferring to a lesser school than nova but I have a lot of friends there.

Howdy. File this under the category of snoozing too long. I'm trying to find a parking pass for A2 or A3 for the 11/7 game vs Richmond but they are long gone. M1 passes are available but don't allow tailgating. Any other place to try to find a pass for resale? None on Stubhub.

I want to host a movie night with a bunch of friends. Specifically I want to watch the first two or three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The twist is I want to bring some rum for us to enjoy on theme.

Are there rooms where we wont be bothered by pubsafe? It would not be more then 20 people. Is there anywhere on cabrini campus?

I’m just curious because it’s one of my fav movies of all time but it prob happens a lot less than I’d imagine.

Assuming travel cost isn't a concern but that I do have a day job in Texas (part remote, part in office) and a home and pets (I can get a pet sitter though).... is this feasible? How many days per week do I need to be on campus for this program? I was hoping to be able to do Fridays and or Mondays in office in TX, maybe fly into PA late on Monday and out late on Thursday...

Also, assuming I have a bachelor's degree in business, what jobs can I get if I add a polisci master's? Would it help in my current position (IT sales)?

How long does mailing usually take to get processed here (not from amazon), because this is taking forever and my packages BEEN came in. (in the nicest way possible)
