Villanova is not Penn State-- you won’t get the kinds of parties you get at a big, rural, state school. That being said, Villanova IS fun. I graduated from there in 2006 and had an incredible experience.
Don’t worry about partying- there are plenty of opportunities for that. As a freshman, it is difficult because of the absence of frat houses and fact that Villanova is in a beautiful, wealthy area there does not seem to much else for the cops to do but protect the residents from unruly college students. There are many off-campus apartment parties within 10 minutes of school and sometimes the hosts coordinate rides.
Also, when I was a freshman, the frats used to rent out clubs in Philly and set up buses to take everyone back and forth to downtown-- definitely a more unique freshman partying experience.
By the time you are a junior, the “night life” is so much better. Being 21 at Villanova is lots of fun. But if you are looking for a 24/7 party, don’t go to Villanova. If you want an overall awesome undergraduate experience (that does include parties!) go to 'Nova.
