Matt Villanueva, Class of 2022
English & Adolescent Education Double Major, Minor in Classic Cultures
Villanova University, M.A. in English, Class of 2024
Despite the minimal size of the English department rivaling that of St. Bonaventure, I could not have asked for much more in my four years as a Bonnie. The program’s small size provided a personalized experience within the literary sphere with each faculty member. Each faculty member shows great care with all their students both in and outside of the classroom.
Inside the classroom, the intimate class sizes yielded thought-provoking discussions that often had me continuing the conversations after class. They were also always available to discuss work through office hours.
Outside of the classroom, when applying for my Masters in English in other institutions, I had the privilege of having multiple faculty members help me with writing samples, personal statements, and letters of recommendations.
Bona’s English program dutifully prepared me for my English MA through intimate discussions, analytical reading, and constant constructive criticism, and I could not have imagined my four years of undergraduate studies anywhere else.
