Hi Ssheik. I’m currently a freshman here at Nova. The students at Nova are pretty much like college students you would find anywhere else, more willing to talk about sports, TV shows, hobbies, and gossip rather than religion and politics. From what I have seen from my 2 weeks here is that there isn’t much of an emphasis on religious or ethnic background. Students from Villanova generally come from strong religious backgrounds (mostly catholic or christian), so they know you shouldn’t discriminate against anyone in any way because of their race or religion. It’s kind of strange, because the student body is so catholic and religious, it allows for greater tolerance towards those of different faiths.

Not to mention that our Freshman class is by far the most diverse class. They didn’t release the official statistics yet but I would estimate that the percentage of caucasian students for our class is less than 70%.
