<p>It’s funny you ask this question, it’s very similar to what I asked a few days ago! I too worry that Villanova may be too homogeneous in nature, and that the lack of diversity may grow tedious after awhile. I have racked my brain (and a slew of other sources…) trying to find a school with a similar academic reputation and sense of community for myself that is perhaps a tad more globally minded, and ultimately failed. I agree with MrInformed, state schools and ivies are probably a better bet if you really are desperate for that level of diversity (but of course this too depends on whether villanova is more of a reach or safety for you, relatively - I am from NJ, definitely don’t want to go to Rutgers, but highly doubt UPenn will be interested in my 32 ACT…but I digress). I do know a few Villanova students, however, and from what I have heard it is definitely possible to find a niche that is more open minded (or at least I hope!) Here is a link to my question, some of the responses made me feel a little better, maybe they will allay your fears as well:) good luck either way!</p>
