<p>one boy i spoke to once told me that it's easier to get in as a commuter, so if you really LOVE nova and it's your #1 but you.. don't quite have the stats. apply as a commuter and the odds increase. it's not a surefire way so please don't all try to move and base your life around this (since living on campus is a whole new wonderful experience), but to those who live close enough to do so, really love it here, and probably wouldn't get in otherwise... yeah.</p>
<p>Wow thanks for the info! I actually live less than 30 minutes fro Villanova, so I might try that. I alreally put on my common app (applied EA) that I would live on campus. Should I e-mail them to change my status to commuter? Also, does being a commuter lessen the overall Villanova experience?</p>
