BTW, Villanova is not located in Philadelphia rather a very upscale neighborhood....
People refer to west Chester and places 30 miles away from philly, as Philly. When nova plays on campus games TV broadcasters show the philly skyline coming out of commercial break. Obviously the main line isn't Philly but you can even understand somewhat the sports culture there just by listening to sports radio and reading newspapers. Would be a less dangerous way to experience some culture. There are great parts of the city though, but I'm not talking about where temple is.
