Our central location offers convenient transportation by car or train to almost anywhere on the East Coast, with New York City and Washington, D.C., only a short trip away.
Perfectly Positioned
Villanova’s 371 acres offer plenty to explore, from green quads and tree-lined pathways to iconic stone buildings and vibrant spaces for studying and gathering. The Wildcat Shuttle connects Villanova’s two campuses, the Villanova Campus and the Cabrini Campus, making it easy to move between spaces and experience all that Villanova has to offer.
Villanova is set in the heart of Pennsylvania’s historic Main Line, a vibrant area filled with dining, shopping, and entertainment options. It’s a favorite destination for Villanovans—and with the free Wildcat Shuttle, it’s all easily within reach.
In just minutes, you can be in Philadelphia, exploring unique restaurants, shopping spots, and entertainment venues. Catch an Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, or Sixers game, or cheer on the Wildcats when they take the court at Philly’s basketball arena.
Internship opportunities abound in the city and throughout the surrounding region. Many Villanovans stay in the area after graduation, launching careers with top companies or continuing their education at premier graduate schools.
Faculty take learning beyond the classroom, often incorporating the region’s many museums and historic sites into your studies. No matter the discipline, Villanova is an ideal place to dive into rich, hands-on educational experiences.
As a Villanovan, you’ll be part of a community committed to service. Each year, students travel throughout Philadelphia and beyond, contributing more than a quarter-million hours of service.
From autumn leaves to spring blooms, you’ll experience the beauty of all four seasons on campus. With a climate warmer than Boston’s and cooler than Washington, D.C.’s, and average highs and lows of 63.3°F and 47.6°F, Villanova is a must-see in every season.
