Quick take

Some Villanova apartment showers need nonstandard curtains. Check the building page before buying one, because a standard curtain will not fit.

Bed and room basics

Villanova directs residence-hall students to bring extra-long bed linens. Room type, bathroom access, air conditioning, flooring and storage vary by building, and traditional halls differ from apartment-style housing in kitchens, bathrooms, closet openings and which household items are supplied. University-provided furniture must stay in the room.

Pack these first

Extra-long bed linens
Non-halogen lighting
Shower supplies, towels and toiletries
Laundry and cleaning supplies, plus hangers
Surge protection and a wastebasket
Sealed food containers

Rules and smart skips

Apartment residents also supply cookware, dishes, paper products and bathroom items.
Some apartment showers require nonstandard curtains, so verify the building page before buying one.
Skip halogen lighting.
Wait on a rug, large organizers, extra seating and shared appliances until the assignment lands.

Before move-in

Villanova listed first-year move-in for August 19, 2026 and returning-student move-in August 21 to 23.
Students select a time after receiving the assignment.
Early item drop-off is not allowed, because halls remain in summer use until move-in.
