<p>I heard villanova's engineering is ranked #9 by us. news however in masters degree. And GWU ranked #92 in doctarate degree. Which can be a better engineering school?And how about their prestigies?
Also socially is GWU too far beyond Villanova or does villanova have hardcore parties?
Which one has a better basketball team?</p>
<p>These are important facts that i am considering in my decision. Can somebody give me more information related to these topics?</p>
<p>I would suggest you to go to 'Nova. Nova has a very good prestige and a very good basketball team.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>If your looking at parties, GW is known to be crazy-especially in freshman-thurston hall. There two totally different schools, in complete different parts of the east. Do you want an urban campus or a real campus? A big city or small town? Its all up to what you want</p>
<p>I know GW's crazy parties from my cousin a sophomore in GW. But how about villanova's parties compared to the GW's. And villanova can be located in a small town but very close to pennsylvania isnt it? If so Villanova's campus can be better than GW campus.</p>
<p>Villanova is located in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I believe there is train service near the campus which the kids use to get into Philly. The campus is supposed to be very pretty. Villanova also has an excellent basketball program. GWU is an urban campus located in Washington DC. They have had some basketball success but not as much as Villanova. I don't know how they both are engineering wise, but in general they are both very good schools.</p>
<p>I live in villanova, and don't know much about the school academically (i can walk to the campus, so it was never really an option) It is very pretty, and the area has a good college scene, with lots of other colleges in the surrounding area (bryn mawr, haverford, swarthmore, rosemont, etc) There is a train station on campus, and the train is realy quick (20 minutes) and takes you into the city every half hour, so you still get many of the benefits of a city without living in one</p>
