There’s always a lot of anticipation surrounding move-in day. In August, the excitement reached a new level as Villanova was able to welcome more of its students to live on campus than ever before.

About 20 percent of the University's 5,400 resident students are the first-ever residents of Arch Hall, Trinity Hall, Canon Hall, Chapter Hall, Cupola Hall and Friar Hall, the six buildings that make up the newly opened Commons residence complex.
