Villanova University Top Questions

Classes are in general very good, you will run into a few terrible professors, but that's everywhere. Overall, professors make a great effort to get to know your name and try very hard to help you. they are all available for extra help and there are so many resources to get even more help-such as upperclassmen tutoring, writing center, etc. Do not usually see hardcore competitiveness which is definitely good. Must work hard to get an A in classes, but if you manage your time the work load is not bad.

Classes are the perfect size. Small enough for you to get noticed and develop a dialogue with your teacher, but big enough to disappear if you don't want to answer a question. The Physics department is the end all be all of awesome. It is probably the smallest departemnt in the school and, as such, you get to know all the professors personally. They love to hold departmental parties with free food and great discussions. All the treachers there have their PhDs and love what they teach. A warning to science majors: you have a large number of arts cores to get out of the way before graduating, expect to take at least two overloads.

School is somewhat difficult. trying to maintain good grades while playing a sport at Villanova isn't the easiest thing in the world. It is important as an athlete to participate in class so that when I miss class, I can ask questions and possible talk with the teach before, during, or after class.

Academics are fine. Professors do a great job always challenging me. The only problem I feel though is that students are only worried about grades instead of actually experiencing and learning what is taught.

Pretty tough but you can find your way to getting some easy classes that will raise the gpa

What I really love about Nova and what made my decision a lot easier to come here, are the classroom sizes. Unlike at a big university, the professors get to know you. You can interact with them on a daily basis and you can also get to know your classmates more. I also love how it challenges me academically. I am not the best student, but with Villanova you have to do all the work in order to be successful and knowing that helps push me to succeed in the classroom.

Villanova academics in my opinion is exellent. Teachers gives you respect and will do everything in order us to be successful. As an international student, they never gave up on me and always try to help me as much as i can. I had a huge progress with my writing skills, public speaking skills and much more. The teachers are always available and willing to help. My major is management and minor in international business andi found that the management department is great and the teachers' stuff is even better. I learned a big deal fro my teacher in every management class i've been taken and I am still in topuch with some of the teachers.

The classes are the perfect size. There is more than enough individual attention given to each student.

Professors know my name. My favorite class is spanish because it's easy. My least favorite is ACS cause I have to write papers. I don't study much. Students are competitive. I'm in "arts and sciences".

I'm a business major, and Villanova will get you that degree. A lot of the classes require a fair amount of group work as they want you to be oriented in a team setting. Classes are small to medium sized, generally about 15-25 students, with your occaisional lecture hall having no more than 50. For the most part, the professors are awesome - they really care about getting to know you, and do everything they can to help you succeed. They make themselves available outside of class, so if there is anything you need, they are there for you. People study a lot here, the most popular place being Bartley Hall, which is open all night -- you can always find kids studying until the early hours of the morning. The business school has great connections, and as long as you work hard, they will get you where you want to be after your 4 years.
