Temple University stands as a beacon of higher education in the heart of Philadelphia. My experience at Temple has been nothing short of exceptional, characterized by its vibrant campus life, diverse student body, and outstanding academic programs.
The university’s urban setting provides a unique, dynamic environment that is both challenging and rewarding. Its location in North Philadelphia offers easy access to the city’s rich cultural and historical landmarks, blending academic life with urban exploration.
One of Temple’s most impressive features is its commitment to inclusivity and diversity. The campus is a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and perspectives, fostering an environment of mutual respect and learning. This diversity extends into the classroom, where the faculty are not only experts in their fields but also passionate educators who are genuinely invested in students’ success.
Temple’s wide range of academic programs is another strength. From cutting-edge research opportunities in the sciences to robust programs in the arts, business, and humanities, the university caters to a broad spectrum of interests and career aspirations. The facilities, including modern laboratories, libraries, and collaborative spaces, are state-of-the-art, providing an ideal setting for academic pursuits.
The university also excels in providing practical, real-world experiences. Internship opportunities, especially in a city brimming with industries, are abundant and invaluable. These experiences have greatly enriched my academic journey, providing a glimpse into the professional world.
Campus life is lively and engaging, with a plethora of clubs, organizations, and events. Whether you’re interested in sports, arts, social activism, or academic clubs, there’s a community for everyone. The sense of community and Owl pride is palpable, creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
In conclusion, Temple University is not just an institution for higher learning; it’s a community that nurtures growth, innovation, and global thinking. My time here has been transformative, and I wholeheartedly recommend Temple to anyone seeking a comprehensive, diverse, and dynamic...
Read moreTemple has been nothing but a nightmare to me. I chose temple because it has great academics and it does! The classes and the support for classes is phenomenal, but what really makes this school miserable to me is everything else. This is just my experience and if you like partying and city life, this is a good school for you. But what has been terrible for me is the food, the health services and the overall campus itself. I live in Johnson and the nearby dining hall is j and h dining hall and it has the worst food I have ever tasted. The variety is non existent and the food thy do serve is not acceptable. I got sick eating the burger and because everything is so horrendous, I refused to eat their and I almost starved to death. When I went to get myself checked out after I vomited blood, the people at the health services told me to come in the next day when I told them I was vomiting blood and I had to have my mom come all the way from home to philly to take me to the local hospital where I had to have surgery and stay a few nights! If I did what they said and waited for the appointment the next day, I could have been in terrible shape! It scares me that the food services and the health services are practically worthless in this school because instead of trying to have fun, I'm more concerned with surviving the year! I have already decided that after this year I will transfer out because I can't take the lousy services this school offers. But like previously stated, this is just my experiences and the academics are wonderful which is why I chose temple. But don't expect decent food or care because u probably won't find it here. Sorry Temple but you just...
Read moreOne of my proudest accomplishments in life is working my way through Temple University. I transferred from Villanova when I decided I wanted to major in Communications and a very honest advisor at V.U. said, "If you've been accepted into Temple's School of Communications and Theater, you need to go there. It's the best". He was right. (Temple is alot less expensive, too). Because I had so many credits in religion and philosophy when I transferred, that was my minor, and I am honored to have known. learned from and become life-long friends with the late Dr. Franklin Littell, Professor Emeritus of Religion when he died, and the world's foremost scholar on the Christian response to the holocaust. I had plenty of other fabulous professors there, as well, both in and out of my major. I went to school to learn - no time to party with working full-time - and Temple is known as a commuter school, easily accessible from all of Phiily's suburbs. I don't know about "campus food', and who cares, anyway, but the food trucks all over the campus had some of the most varied, affordable, and best-tasting breakfasts and lunches I ever ate. I am retired now, with a comfortable pension, and getting my degree from Temple made all the difference in the world in my career, the jobs I was offered, and all of my professional successes. It is a world class school in a world class city. Thank you,...
