andrewbaxley86 Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I just thought I would drop in and see if anyone else out there is going to be starting at Villanova in the Fall. If so, send me a PM- I would love to chat with you!
DanceDog46 Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Hey there- I attended Villanova for undergrad and absolutely LOVED it! They have a great psych department, and the M.S class of students while I was there was fantastic. I'm sure you'll really enjoy the program and get a lot out of it. Good luck!
mj53 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Accepted so far but waiting to hear on funding before making a decision.
Tara Frem Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 When would we hear about funding? I'm still waiting on PhD offers before accepting :S
andrewbaxley86 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 I think we should know about funding sometime in mid-March. I'm planning on taking loans out if need be. Seems to me like a sound investment. How about you guys? Will you pay the bill if you need to?
nbrown07 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 If anyone has any particular questions about 'Nova - feel free to send me a message; I'm a 2nd year in the program.

How about you guys? Will you pay the bill if you need to? Also planning on taking out loans but will need some kind of funding as well if I'm going to go to Villanova. I'd like to go there, it's a nice fit, but we'll see when that time comes.
_synapse Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Congratulations to everyone who has gotten accepted to the program, and good luck making your decisions about where to attend! I am in my first year of the program, and I'd be more than happy to answer questions or chat about anything from apartments to academics to things to do on the weekends . . .
do it to julia Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I've been accepted, but found out last week that all offers of funding have already been extended. It's so frustrating. Villanova was one of my top two choices, but unless someone declines an assistantship and I'm next on the list, it doesn't look like I'll be able to go. The maximum Direct Loan is "only" $20,500/year and PLUS or private loans aren't an option for me, so I'd be trying to get by on about $7,500/year after tuition and fees. Maybe I could earn another few thousand a year from part-time work, but I'd still be taking on another $41,000 in Direct Loan debt when I'm already in deep from UG. And in an emergency I wouldn't have a penny of additional loan eligibility to tap, since I'd already be borrowing the maximum each semester. I want to talk myself into going despite it all, but it just doesn't seem like a smart move.
do it to julia Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Declined the offer; hope someone great is at the top of the waiting list!
