As Villanova's President Emeritus, Father Dobbin, says, "Don't let books be your only education."

Villanova students take that seriously — and the power of their involvement in student life is much of what makes Villanova a community. So take it all in — live in the residence halls, cheer for the Wildcats, volunteer with campus ministry, and jump right into our campus clubs and organizations. Your education — and your life — will be richer with the experience gained.

Villanova was founded in 1842 by the Friars of the Order of St. Augustine. Located in a suburban community 12 miles (or 20 kilometers) west of Philadelphia, the picturesque 254-acre campus features more than 60 buildings, including a library with more than 800,000 volumes, an 11,800 seat stadium, state of the art academic facilities, and 26 residence halls.
