What dining plan do you recommend for a guy? There are so many options with the meals and the points. I was thinking 19/wk and figured could always add points. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Since I lived off campus, I actually decided to opt out of the meal plan all four years. But most of my friends either had the 19/week or the unlimited plan. Those who chose 19/week were able to manage without any trouble. I would say, pick the most cost-effective of the two.
Thanks! Do you happen to know the percentage of freshman that participate in the Learning Communiites? Wondering whether to join one or not…from what I’ve read people that join them are happy with their choice.
I am not aware of a specific percentage, however, a lot of my friends were in learning communities during their freshman year.
I believe those in specific learning communities were in the same dormitory, took a one-credit leadership class together, and were in the same ACS (Augustinian Culture and Seminar) class. All of my friends that were in learning communities seemed to love it – you will definitely make an amazing group of friends if you apply for it!
Can someone explain what these learning communities are, and how one can go about joining them? I decided to enroll a few days ago, so I need to figure out the dorm situation now haha.
All the information on learning communities can be found here http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/studentlife/learningcommunities.html
While I personally did not join one my freshman year, I had quite a few friends that were in them and they seemed to really love it.
@aahmed4 Thank you for the link! Hopefully I’m able to join one.
@aahmed4 How is the religious scene on campus? I’m not very religious and I want to know if that would be an issue at Villanova. I don’t mind being around religious people, symbols, etc so I’m more worried about everyone else accepting me. I’m also the exact opposite of the snobby/rich/white stereotype at Villanova so I was wondering if you or anyone you know could comment on their experience as a minority here. Also, I am interested in VSB so what do you like/dislike about the business school and how was it trying to get internships here?
@aahmed4 A quick question for you… My S will be a freshman in the fall in CLAS. He is thinking about VSB and possibly applying for an internal transfer in the spring. what are the best math classes to take freshman year? Of course he will get in touch with advisement but I thought maybe you may have an idea what some students take.
Can anyone confirm that Villanova does not offer interviews for potential students? Having trouble finding a definitive answer on admission department website.
Also, does anyone have experience with Villanova’s engineering department?
@jmek15 Villanova does not offer interviews for potential students. You can find it on the Villanova website under Admissions Process then For Undergraduate Students. Scroll down and its item #5. Hope that helps!
