What is the enrollment like at Villanova?

I'm thinking about applying to Villanova and was curious about the student body size. Is it a large university, or does it have a more intimate feel with smaller enrollment numbers? Any insights?

Villanova University is a mid-sized private institution. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the undergraduate population is about 7,000 students. Its size allows for a balance between the resources and opportunities of a larger institution while still maintaining a small, community-focused feel.

In terms of class size, Villanova maintains a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio which promotes intimate learning environments and close interactions with professors. Approximately a little over half of the classes comprise less than 20 students. This sort of environment can be beneficial for students who thrive in an intimate academic setting with more personal attention from faculty, as well as those who enjoy a smaller, close-knit community feel.

Of course, you should consider how your own preferences align with these aspects, as some students may prefer larger universities with a vast array of people and resources. It's always a good idea to take into account the size of the university when considering the overall fit and feel.
