Although it may seem like a pretty easy decision, it is not so easy for my D. Background info:
Live in New Jersey. Mother, Father, sister, grandfather and uncles all attended Villanova. So my D grew up there and we know the school very well. I have one daughter that is a current Junior at Nova. Yes, Villanova is more difficult to get in to, more impressive and coveted, closer to home (1.5 hours), excellent alumni network in the NY/NJ metro area, basketball, beautiful suburb. It is also, a bit snobby, i.e., very designer brand conscious (Canada Goose, Gucci, etc). My daughter wants greek life. Which is a fairly toxic system at Nova (panhellenic advisor at Nova used that word, not me). I don’t care what anyone says, Nova is definitely more socially challenging if you are not greek and not 21. It was like that 30 years ago when I went and is still that way. Trust me, we are a Wildcat family through and through, but just want the best college experience for my D. Clemson: 12 hours driving or have to fly. Great school spirit, everyone that goes there loves it, excellent greek system, great town, lakes, well rounded students and a new experience for my D. All comments and opinions are welcome…
