<p>Does anyone know or have experience of transferring to Villanova university especially the nursing program? How bad is the cost really? Is it fun there? any specifics about the program you could share that an admissions counselor isnt going to tell me?
I am currently at U-sciences in west Philadelphia and i want to change my major, unfortunately usp does not have nursing and i would like to stay in south east PA.
I have also applied to Temple and Drexel.
Thank you so much!!!</p>
<p>I transferred to Villanova from the University of Maryland. Sorry, I can’t speak to the nursing school. However, I know that is one of the top programs out there and is regarded highly. </p>
<p>In my experience, Villanova offers a very comfortable environment. I can say that I certainly don’t feel like a number which is something I loathed about UMD. Academically, it’s respectable and I feel as though I’m actually being challenged and learning a lot. </p>
<p>In terms of social life, it can vary. Most of the partying at Nova takes place off campus at frat and bars. There isn’t a ton going on on campus aside from the basketball and football games, but is a theater, pool/sports lounge, and some other spots to hang out. Philadelphia is only a twenty minute trip away and that opens your options up considerably (theaters, clubs, jazz joints, sports arenas, parks, etc.). Villanova is what you make it. If you’re the kind of person who expects to have fun handed to them, you won’t have a good time. I’ve met a good group of people who are willing to step off campus and explore a bit so I’m having a good time. </p>
<p>Oh yeah. Villanova is expensive. Keep that in mind.</p>
