<p>How strong are academics at Villanova?</p>
<p>I am in the process of picking a college and am having trouble finding information on the level of Villanova's academics.
What other schools is Villanova comparable to in terms of academics?</p>
<p>I am currently choosing between Boston College, Northeastern, Uconn, and Villanova. If you don't mind answering, how does Villanova compare to these specific schools?
Thank you</p>
<p>Are you a senior choosing among possibilities, or a junior wondering where to apply?</p>
<p>Better than uconn and northeastern, but not as good as BC</p>
<p>^^^^agreed</p>

<p>Boston College and Northeastern are roughly at the same level academically, and Villanova is slightly better than UConn. The difficulty is that you’re comparing apples and oranges: BC and NEU are national universities, one Catholic the other secular and known for its co-ops; Villanova and UConn are regional colleges, one private, Catholic, and catering to a certain socio-economic group, whereas UConn is public, larger, and a bit more diverse than Villanova, especially socio-economically but also ethnically (Villanova is 78% White, UConn 66%). Villanova is like a little BC, and if you got into BC and like Villanova, BC would be the upgrade version.
So it depends on whether you want to attend a Catholic university or not…but first of all you should look at net costs. How much does each cost, after subtracting scholarships&grants but nothing else? How much in loans would you have to take for each?</p>
