Septa Information

Villanova is very fortunate to have two train stations on campus. This makes travel up and down the Main Line and into Philadelphia very accessible for all Villanovans.

By Train/Trolley

Via Regional Rail: Take AMTRAK to 30th Street Station in Center City Philadelphia. Take SEPTA's Regional Rail Line, the Paoli/Thorndale line (Paoli Local) to Villanova Station - directly on campus. When you leave the train, take the pedestrian tunnel under the tracks and walk straight through the walkway under Mendel Science Center.

Via Suburban Rail: SEPTA's Route 100 Line travels between Norristown and 69th Street Terminal. You may get on or off the Route 100 trolley at the Villanova Station (STADIUM) on Ithan Avenue. Walk up to the corner of Ithan Avenue and Lancaster Avenue (US Route 30) and cross over Lancaster Ave. Continue walking down Ithan Avenue to the Pavilion for further assistance.
