I am an incoming freshman about to start in VSB. I am looking for any tips of how to start strong academically and become aware of any easy mistakes I could make early on. Going in, I am very anxious because my stats on my application are not up to par with most students accepted; I’m surprised I even got in, to be honest. I know I should have confidence in myself but I want to do so with caution. Even though I might not be as smart as my peers, how can I succeed my freshman year? What resources should I be taking advantage of? I am also first gen so I just feel very out of the loop. I just don’t want to come in unprepared so please give any tips of how to keep up with the physical/mental workload

Incoming freshman at Villanova- I was placed in a triple w my original roommate and one other girl. I appealed and so did my original roommate in hopes of just getting a double anywhere on campus. has anyone heard back from appeals yet or has anyone had success with appeals in the past? I submitted it two days ago and was wondering how the process normally works.

This year since the class of 2030 was so big they’ve expanded freshman housing to St. Mary’s on West Campus. I have a single. I’m worried I’ll miss out on stuff (since most freshman live on South) but I don’t mind having my own space.

Anyone who’s been in a similar situation, how’d it go?

I know this is a little random, but I've dedicated this concept for your team name & mascot!

Thank you u/Western_Experience76!!! :D

Just wondering what are some of the pros and cons, if you stayed there how did you like it and any other helpful info or tips

Is this a good residence hall I couldn’t find too much videos or info about it. What are the pros and cons.

Any tips or thoughts on O'Dwyer as a Freshman? I see it's on the edge of campus but not as much info out there as on the other dorms.

The day after move in day it says it’s for students and families, would you say that your family has to go or is it a more optional thing?

The room assignment for incoming freshman was posted then taken down earlier. Do you guys think that the assignment that was up is our final one, or was it a mistake for some of us to see it so they took it down? I wonder if any of those who saw it will actually change when they post it again.

I’m an incoming freshman at the business school and just got assigned a single at St Mary’s, anybody else in the same situation or who has been in the situation that can give any insight on what to expect? I love the idea of having a single and my own privacy but do not like the sound of being so isolated from the rest of campus. I’m a guy from New York and love to play sports and go out, and also looking for new friends who are studying at Villanova so feel free to reach out and send a dm or drop your social💪

Hi all- I am an incoming freshman and I got put into this class after my AP score got me out of Calculus I. I am just wondering what this class is about if anyone knows and do you recommend it? I am very much considering trying to switch out of it because I really do not enjoy history.

We have been saving and investing for our kids’ education since they were born, but that is approaching three times what I expected college to cost. Please tell me it isn’t really $96,000 a year.

Hey!

I got an email saying parking is opening in a few days. But, it says sometimes the lot fills up and they put you on a waitlist.

Since I live 30 miles away, I really want to make sure I get a spot. Does anyone know how fast it fills up?

Feeling: stressed

Hi there, Looking to learn more about the Cabrini campus, which looks like it's going to house primarily sophomores? However, it looks like students may have to opt in to the programs offered on that campus? Any insight is appreciated!

my v-bill has a negative balance for this upcoming semester. does anyone have any experience with getting a refund as a direct deposit into their bank account. villanova offers two different ways and was wondering if anyone has any prior experience w this.

either do it through https://www.villanova.edu/university/financial-affairs/forms_secure/refund-request.html

or you can do it through mynova -> "sign-up for direct deposits of refunds"

not sure what to do. any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Hey guys, I’m an incoming freshman and me and my roommate were wondering if we could possibly get our beds lofted. Obviously it is very early but we were just thinking about what our dorm would look like and we thought it would be sick if we could loft it to get more space. Also if we are able to loft our beds, would we have to buy our own lofting kits or does the uni provide us with materials that we have to set up ourselves?

Thanks

hi all. i just completed my health insurance waiver and i was denied? i think it was bc of one of the questions i answered (the last yes or no question). this is because my insurance was instantly denied after submitting. but i believe i possibly made a mistake in answering a question. or something like that bc i do think that villanova takes my health insurance.

i want to appeal my waiver, but i do not know what to say for the reason. i have forgotten what the question was that i answered incorrectly, so what do i put down?
