Temple University Top Questions

i am not really into this.

I don't think any student would feel out of place at TU... i have met people of all different backgrounds. Students dress comfortably for classes... for some people that's a skirt and blouse and for others (like me), it's sweats and a hoodie. One thing that can be found within most of the students is TU is passion... towards education, activities, religion, politics, the world, etc. There are sooooo many different groups... each student can easily find a social group to become a part of.

Most students wear urban type clothing. No one really dresses up that much like they do at Southern schools. It seems like 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students at Temple are from Pennsylvania, which is weird because Temple swears it's so diverse.

Our student body is very diverse, so there's nobody that should feel out of place here on campus. There are instances of racial discrimination, but they are dealt with swiftly. Student groups constantly pair up and co-sponsor events, which helps aid in student relations.

temples student body is very diverse and not just racially. there is a huge variety of classes.

Most students are easy to talk to and are very personable and social.

I can't imagine a single person that would feel out of place at Temple. Temple is extremely diverse, and seems like the student body is represented by many races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, political opinions, economic backgrounds, etc. Most students dress casually to class, in either sweats or jeans.

No type of student feels out of place because there is one of everyone! That's what I love about Temple, no matter who you are you can find someone that can relate to you!

Temple is truly a diverse campus, it is drilled into your head since day one, but when i stand back and look at it, we really are. there are so many cultures, cliches, and people from different socio-economic backrounds, but no one feels alienated, everyone is accepted and that si the key to a diverse student body.

the school is WAY too urban, there is a huge divide in race and class but its ABSOLUTE self segregation. I think 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of temple students are lower to middle class...

Temple is a melting pot - all different styles, ages, races, beliefs and affiliations. The students and professors are quite diverse and sometimes make for an interesting experience.

everybody is very open no matter what it is.

Temple endlessly trumpets its diversity, and that is a high point. Keep in mind there are a ton of kids from white-bread suburbs who, if not for their four years at Temple, might never interact with people of different colors and religions. That's a life experience for a lot of people. There are a lot of clubs for students, so no matter what their interests and backgrounds are, they'll be able to find people like them. Nobody feels out of place at Temple. It feels more "real" than any other school I've ever seen. It's a very left-wing school, but probably no more so than other east coast universities. It's also strongly middle class; very few people come from money. A lot of people are putting themselves through school, and it's rare to find someone who doesn't have a job.

Again, because Temple is so diverse, I have seen a met a great variety of people. Nobody could possibly feel out of place. I, come from a small town in Maine and was use to a very laid-back, casual style. However, since attending college here my style has heightened due to my exposure or urban influence. There definitely are still similarities among students but I love that I get to see such uniqueness in clothing everyday. Still, even those who are going to or coming out of Temple's gym always look good. It's my impression that most kids come from upper middle class homes simply based on appearance. The bottom line is, every student at Temple has something new and fresh to offer.
