Katie Donahue Review at Villanova University, Villanova | Collegedunia

Villanova and its teachings

KD
6.5 /10

I was recruited for athletics but mostly I chose it because it has a highly ranked political science program. Also, the location was nice because it was in the suburbs but highly accessible to the city of Philadelphia.

Course Curriculum :

I very much enjoy the political science curriculum, but I believe that Villanova has far too extensive core requirements. Liberal arts education is a scam which makes you pay more money to take classes you do not want to take. There is so much useless core that does not contribute to anyone's education.

Exams :

ACT - 31, math - 28, science - 25, reading - 34, English - 35, writing - 26, I also took a few SAT subject tests but didn't do well.

Fees :

Villanova is extremely expensive. In total, it gets near $70,000 . However I am very lucky that my parents have helped me to get financial aid through the financial aid office and now I get about half of my tuition off in a grant. However, I know I am a lucky one as Villanova usually does not give any scholarship/grant money.

Scholarship :

My family applied for financial aid, Villanova gave us need-based aid.

Examination Structure :

Exam structure We do not have exams. It is entirely dependent on the course you take, but as a liberal arts major, I do not have overarching exams that are required. There might be some exams at the end of a semester for one class, but that?s it.

Faculty :

The faculty are fantastic, I have had great experiences with them. I am also a member of the honours program and through this, I have taken courses with some of the best professors.
