Transportation Information

Below is the transportation information to Villanova’s campus. The retreat will take place in the Connelly Center (#9 on the Campus Map)

*Please note*
Villanova is doing major construction on campus and you will be unable to access the Connelly Center's lower level entrance by where we hold registration. Entrance to the building will be via the front, which faces Lancaster Ave. When facing the building, the main entrance on your left is to the upper level, lobby area, and the entrance on your right (head down a flight of stairs) will take you to the lower level by the Cinema (auditorium). Registration will be on the lower level as in previous years - outside the Villanova room where the poster sessions take place.
