I went to Villanova for grad school. Its reputation for being stuck up comes from the rest of the schools in the Philly area. It's as much jealousy from the Temple and St. Joe's crowd as it is snobs at Villanova---let's just say it goes both ways. Villanova is a preppy, reserved school compared to gritty, urban Temple. That's just reality. Villanova has a beautiful campus, great academic school...but mediocre baseball. If you're looking to play baseball for a living, it's not the best choice. If you are looking to get an education there and baseball is a part of it, I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Well said, the Temple crowd and the St Joes crowds are very different. St Joes lines up similar to Nova on most things outside of the success of the basketball program. Much more so than Temple.
