Accepted to Villanvoa MSF.. Where do I live?

What's up guys I just got accepted to the MSF program at Villanova. I'm going to be moving there from Florida in May. Wanted to see everybody's opinion on where to live (in the city vs. around the school) and if anybody in the program is looking for a roommate to split a 2 BR place?

Live in the city if at all possible. I usually encourage social people to do so. Other than that you can live in Radnor which is really close to campus. Bunch of apartments that cater to students (although I think they rip them off in rent).

 

I'm a current student in the MSF and live in the city. I really prefer living in the city because you don't get stuck going out in the philly suburbs which frankly are quite boring. (Not that we get much time to go out ever) if you live in the city however make sure you live near either market east or suburban station. The only reason my morning commute is bearable is because it's a 5min walk to market east station where I hop right on the train. Door to door the commute is about 45mins-1hr.

A plus for mainline though is that you will interact with MSFers much more outside of school, for some reason people on the mainline never make it out to the city
