<p>First of all, the King of Prussia Mall is at most ten minutes away from 'Nova. Also, I would honestly consider staying in the city if you have the means/motivation…especially if the prospective student is new to the Philly area. It would be a good chance to take in the city and perhaps get acquainted with SEPTA…it’s around a 20-30 minute train ride from 30th St. Station to Villanova. Just speaking as a Philly native and part-time Villanova student…</p>
