My daughter goes to Villanova and yes I would say its quite waspy. Just look at Wayne, its super duper waspy. The people, the stores the taste level...its beautiful but a little stuffy for me personally any my daughter who is Italian always talks about it being waspier lately...not sure how it compares to other schools though but I can say the area (Main Line) is definitely very waspy.

Yeah nova isn't really waspy. Just a good school for rich white kids who end up on Wall Street.

How on earth is Villanova making the list?


It is neither a NESCAC nor a WASPy school. Someone seems to be pushing 'Nova lately. Basketball season is coming up I guess.

Villanova is catholic but it's still one of the whitest, wealthiest, preppiest etc. etc. places I've ever seen. Nothing but yuppies.

Yep. I realized as I was driving home that I had spelled it wrong. It was only the second-stupidest thing I did today, too. Sigh.

Not OP, but I do feel that for students who are not Jewish, attending a school where there are many Jewish students can make dating difficult. Even today, many Jewish parents want their children to marry Jews, which can make things rather unpleasant.

Most of the Ivies were historically WASPY and now I agree that Wash + Lee stands out as uber waspy.
