When looking at schools, it's really important to determine if you want to be in a city school or not. City schools are, for the most part, completely different than suburban and rural schools. For example, if you go to NYU or Northeastern, a lot of the buildings are modern and urban. That is not the case with Villanova. Villanova is a beautiful campus situated in a suburban town. The majority of the buildings are old in the most beautiful way. They're made of stone and granite and have an antique feel to the. On the inside, many buildings are, in fact, modern. The campus, which is an official arboretum, is honestly one of the most beautiful campuses I've been to. The gothic-style church adds to the beauty and romance, if you will, if the campus.
