Hey there…my son is considering transferring to Villanova for the Spring semester, and I am trying to help him find housing options. It sounds like on-campus housing is not an option, and the campus is located in an area without a ton of off-campus options. There is one complex close to campus (complete with a shuttle), but looking at the reviews of the facility (Home Properties of Bryn Mawr), it sounds pretty shaky.

Looking at the university website, there is not much in the way of support for non-campus housing…which considering where the campus is located (imbedded within a VERY residential area in the western suburbs of Philadelphia) is a little disappointing. Does anybody here have any ideas other than the typical Craig’s List, sublet/apartment-type resources to look for a housing option for my son for the spring?

Thanks for any help!
