MAPS & DIRECTIONS
WELCOME TO VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY
What makes Villanova so easy to get to, but so hard to leave? We invite you to visit our suburban 260-acre campus located in the heart of the historic Main Line. We are minutes from Philadelphia, the nation's sixth largest city, and a short trip from New York City and Washington D.C.
Located near the intersection of two interstate highways, I-76 and I-476, Villanova is easy to access. There are three train stops on campus that offer convenient transportation to almost anywhere on the East Coast, including nearby Philadelphia International Airport.
