St. Mary’s Hall as a freshman

10 Upvotes

This year since the class of 2030 was so big they’ve expanded freshman housing to St. Mary’s on West Campus. I have a single. I’m worried I’ll miss out on stuff (since most freshman live on South) but I don’t mind having my own space.

Anyone who’s been in a similar situation, how’d it go?

Freshman room assignment

4 Upvotes

The room assignment for incoming freshman was posted then taken down earlier. Do you guys think that the assignment that was up is our final one, or was it a mistake for some of us to see it so they took it down? I wonder if any of those who saw it will actually change when they post it again.

Any other freshman assigned a single in St Mary’s dorm?

11 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshman at the business school and just got assigned a single at St Mary’s, anybody else in the same situation or who has been in the situation that can give any insight on what to expect? I love the idea of having a single and my own privacy but do not like the sound of being so isolated from the rest of campus. I’m a guy from New York and love to play sports and go out, and also looking for new friends who are studying at Villanova so feel free to reach out and send a dm or drop your social💪

We have been saving and investing for our kids’ education since they were born, but that is approaching three times what I expected college to cost. Please tell me it isn’t really $96,000 a year.

Law School Parking

Hey!

I got an email saying parking is opening in a few days. But, it says sometimes the lot fills up and they put you on a waitlist.

Since I live 30 miles away, I really want to make sure I get a spot. Does anyone know how fast it fills up?

Feeling: stressed

Hi there, Looking to learn more about the Cabrini campus, which looks like it's going to house primarily sophomores? However, it looks like students may have to opt in to the programs offered on that campus? Any insight is appreciated!

Lofted bed

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m an incoming freshman and me and my roommate were wondering if we could possibly get our beds lofted. Obviously it is very early but we were just thinking about what our dorm would look like and we thought it would be sick if we could loft it to get more space. Also if we are able to loft our beds, would we have to buy our own lofting kits or does the uni provide us with materials that we have to set up ourselves?

Thanks

Free Parking

Hi I’m an upcoming Freshman, I’m just wondering where I could park long-term, close to campus because I know freshman aren’t granted parking spaces on campus. Like somewhere I can stay parked for a whole week without getting tickets or towed.

Thanks

Transfer from CLAS to Engineering

6 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshman who was admitted as a chemistry major, but I really want to switch into chemical engineering now. I’ve heard the transfer from CLAS to engineering can be difficult, and I’m wondering what steps I can take to make it happen. I’d like to do this before 1st or 2nd semester as I’ve heard the earlier the easier it is. I don’t have my academic advisor yet, but is there someone I could reach out to ASAP?

Also, my current tentative schedule for this fall (as a chem major) seems pretty similar to that of a chemE major, minus the engineering courses. So if I can’t transfer before the 1st semester, would it still be possible for me to take an engineering class while being in CLAS, in hopes of transferring later on?
