<p>^^^ Uhh, Villanova is not known for their financial aid.<br>
So, at 50K/year ppl’s families will think long and hard before plunking down that kind of $$$. It’s a good school, but not a top tier, and in this economy, people may shy away, therefore leading to a somewhat lower quality student than in the past. You may have get more of a ‘mediocre’ (although still a very high quality student!!) if their parents are able to pay full freight.</p>
