Villanova University Top Questions

The best thing about my school is its emphasis on serving and giving back to the community in order to promote the "greater good." Between the annual "Day of Service," "Martin Luther King Service Day," and the countless opportunities to volunteer through campus ministry and other service groups around campus, there is always a way to get involved in some sort of service activity. I believe that this commitment makes Villanova students some of the friendliest, compasionate, and most well rounded inviduals in the world.

The greatest aspect of Villanova is that as a community, it promotes students to try new things- to take risks and step outside their comfort zones.

Here I feel as though I have no limitations on pursuing new interests. I am always given the opportunity to learn something I didn't know, or meet someone willing to both teach and learn.

Diversity is one of the most important advantages of attending a unversity the size of Villanova University. Diversity on a college campus gives students the oppurtunity to learn and socialize with students of different ethnicities.
