VISIT VILLANOVA
In Latin, ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ means "new home." Spend a day on our campus or explore virtually and you’ll see that we take that expression literally. Discover why so many students couldn’t wait to make it their new home. At ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥, you’ll experience it all. Two hundred and sixty acres of lush greenery and beautiful collegiate architecture, just steps from Pennsylvania’s historic Main Line and minutes from the bustling city of Philadelphia. A climate that encompasses all four seasons, with mild spring mornings, crisp autumn afternoons and serenely snowy days.
NOVA NATION PRESENTATIONS AND CAMPUS TOURS
Student-led campus walking tours are offered most weekdays. You will have the chance to see our beautiful campus in-person and have your questions answered by a current student! The walking tour typically takes approximately one hour.
If a student-led campus tour is unavailable on the day you hope to visit, or if you'd prefer to explore campus at your own pace, we suggest a self-guided tour.
All visitors to campus must pre-register using one of the links below:
