In our ongoing efforts to improve our campus visit experience, we are currently constructing a pedestrian plaza which will lead to the front door of the Office of University Admission in Austin Hall.  While this project is under construction, it may impact the way that you find our office for your visits.  When crossing the street at the St. Thomas of Villanova Church, continue up the steps and around to the right walking between the church with St. Rita's Hall on your right.  Continue to the right between Alumni Hall and St. Rita's until reaching Austin Hall.  Find the east doors of Austin Hall which face the large black and white sculpture in the campus plaza.  There you will find the welcome desk and the registration for our tours and presentations.  Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve our campus.
