Where on earth is Villanova University?

Here's a junior feeling lost ... Except for knowing it's somewhere out east, I'm pretty stumped about Villanova University's location. Can anyone enlighten me?

Villanova University is located in the small town of Villanova, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Villanova is specifically situated on the Main Line, an affluent group of suburban communities along a historic railroad route to the west of the city.

Being about 12 miles away, Philadelphia is conveniently accessible, offering the advantages of city life in terms of internships, cultural activities, and entertainment, while the campus itself maintains a charming suburban feel. You get the best of both worlds!

Another key geographical feature is that it's relatively halfway between two of America's largest cities: New York and Washington, D.C., making weekend trips to these cities quite feasible for students.

Villanova's location offers a blend of small-town charm and big-city opportunities which many students find appealing. Good luck with your college search!
