Academic Support Services

"I’ve taken advantage of the support resources on campus like the Math Center and Writing Center. They’ve been really helpful for both academic and personal growth.”

—Yasira Pineda, Villanova School of Business

House Calls

Each September, Villanova faculty and staff visit every first-year student in their residence hall, listening, connecting, and offering support. This simple act shows how you’re seen, heard, and part of a community ready to guide you and feel at home on campus.

Safe and Supported

Villanova’s Public Safety team keeps campus safe 24/7 while building a welcoming community. You might even meet Taffy, Villanova's Community Canine, who offers comfort, companionship, and a calming presence as she strolls through campus and joins events.

Mental Health Resources

Across Villanova, neon-green bandanas mark students who have pledged to be a resource for their campus community. The bandanas signal that mental health is taken seriously, that it’s okay to talk about, and that support and care are always available.

Recreation and Fitness

At Villanova, staying active is part of campus life. You can join intramural and club sports, explore fitness programs, or take advantage of modern facilities and open recreation spaces, all while making friends and enjoying time outside the classroom.

Wellness in Action

Throughout the year, a range of wellness activities helps you care for your mental, emotional, and physical health. Cooking workshops and pet therapy sessions, study breaks and mindfulness sessions, all help you take time for yourself and care for your well-being.
