An Excellent Location
While roaming Villanova's beautiful campus it is sometimes a challenge to remember that you're only 20 minutes away from the major metropolitan area of Philadelphia and all its resources. We truly have the best of both worlds. The town of Villanova is 12 miles west of Philly in the exclusive suburbs known as the Main Line. It is one of the safest college campuses in the world.

- It is located off of a major Pennsylvannia thoroughfare (US 476 — called the Blue Route).
- Septa has two train stops on campus with quick routes to Philly and AMTRAK connections.
- The Philadelphia International Airport is only 40 minutes away and has non-stop hops to almost anywhere.
