Villanova University, home to more than 6,000 undergraduate students, offers the advantages of a picturesque campus just outside of one of America's great cities, Philadelphia. Villanova's 254-acre campus in Villanova, Pennsylvania, is tranquil, serene, and beautiful.

Originally the charming country estate of merchant and Revolutionary War officer John Rudolph, the campus now includes more than 60 attractive buildings and is recognized as a national arboretum.

From its tree-shaded grounds, it is hard to believe that you are just 12 miles from the excitement and opportunities in the heart of Philadelphia, but all the city has to offer is only a train ride away, and campus commuter trains regularly run from the station on campus to the center of the city.
