[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in VA- why would you pay to go private to Villanova OP? UVA is much better (and I am no booster).[/quote]

First of all, the OP already told us that he is out of state.

Second, please support your claim that UVA is “better”. In what way is it better?

Third, you pay private college tuition at Villanova for the same reason that you pay private tuition - very few if any large lecture halls, more individual attention, more personalized service.

We ‘ve already had one poster say that Villanova is direct admit to Business while UVA is not. Nothing worse than going to a college because you want to major in business, or engineering, or nursing, etc and then finding out after you get there that the door is closed to you. Or if you change your mind about your major and then find out that you can’t transfer once you’re already there. That’s the difference in personalized service between a private university like Villanova and UVA or almost any other State U.

With regard to individual attention and large lecture halls, the numbers tell the tale.student: teacher ratio at Villanova is 11:1 while at UVA IT’s 15:1. WRT large lecture halls, only 3% of Villanova’s classes are bigger than 50 students, so you might go 4 years and never be in one of those. But at UVA 16% of the classes have over 50 students, so somewhere along the way you’ll be spending time in some of those.[/quote]
