Hello everyone! I have been accepted to the college of arts and sciences at both Villanova and BC and I am currently trying to decide which one to attend. I have read on previous threads that BC is superior academically, but I really loved to environment at Villanova. Can anyone comment on the social differences at these two schools and the differences between the student bodies? Thank you!
My daughter was in the exact same situation last year. She ended up choosing Villanova because she just got a better feel there and she couldn’t be happier there! The students there just seem to love it. Boston College doesn’t seem to have the same sense of school spirit that it used to have. We went to the Syracuse football game there last fall (my husband is an alum) and the student section was almost empty. Granted it wasn’t the best weather but still…To be honest, you can’t go wrong with either one but Villanova is definitely on the upswing these days and you can feel it on the campus. Good luck with your choice!
