The Office
for Residence Life maintains a web page, which lists apartments and
rooms available in the area for students.
Here you will find a list of apartment complexes in the area, as
well as apartments and rooms available to rent.
Note:
Villanova University makes no representation whatsoever regarding the
housing or the landlords listed through this site. The properties are
listed at the request of area landlords to assist students in locating
possible off-campus housing opportunities. Students are responsible for
inspecting the property and negotiating lease terms with the landlord.
Villanova University has not inspected or investigated the listings or
landlords in any way and does not endorse any specific properties or
landlords nor does the University accept responsibility for the
condition of any premises, the terms of leases, treatment by any
landlord, or compliance with applicable local zoning ordinances.
In Fall 2007, the University will lease Kaul Hall at Rosemont College in an effort to accommodate students
(seniors and transfers) who desire housing, but are not eligible to reside on the Villanova University campus. Given
that space is limited at Kaul Hall, assignment is done on a first come first served or date of admissions deposit basis.
Detailed
information about living at Kaul Hall can be viewed by clicking the
links above.
If you are
a Transfer Student and would like to request housing at Kaul Hall,
please notify the
Office for Residence Life.
