Established in 1842, Villanova University is a key member of the robust academic community in the suburbs of Philadelphia, a stone’s throw from Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College. The stately architecture of the campus is anchored by the magnificent Gothic Revival St. Thomas of Villanova Church. Villanova sets itself apart from its peers through its superb academic programs, earning the university distinction as one of the top Masters Universities in the nation. As a Catholic institution, the Campus Ministry and community service are major parts of the Villanova lifestyle. The Wildcats basketball team is a regular presence in the NCAA tournament, and the Nova Nation student section is well known for their rowdy support of the team.
The community surrounding Villanova is mostly composed of quiet residential neighborhoods, with most of the nearby rentals clustered around Lancaster Avenue to the east.
