Where else should I look?

College Search & Selection

Most universities have what they consider a “peer university” list that is comprised of schools they consider their peers or comparable to them in a number of ways. I’ve looked and can’t find the one from Villanova, but if you email its Office of Strategic Planning and Institutional Effectiveness, they can probably provide you with a copy (or perhaps you’ll have better luck finding it on their website). Nor could I find Creighton’s, so I’d recommend reaching out to them, too.

SHORT LIST
To save the eyes of those who don’t feel like reading the various lists, colleges mentioned at least 2x across the various lists include:

• Lehigh
• Loyola Maryland
• Santa Clara (3x)
• Loyola Marymount
• Saint Louis
• U. of Denver
• U. of San Diego
• U. of San Francisco
• Xavier

I also saw Bucknell listed multiple times as a peer school for others who had Villanova on their list, too.

Elon, Loyola Chicago, and Seattle U. all listed both Creighton and Villanova on their peer lists.
