Temple University Top Questions

If you do not like partying or large classes, Temple is not the place for you. I went to a high school with around 500 students, then jumped to Temple-- a school with over 30,000 students. It is easy to feel small here, so I think the size of the school is the most intimidating. Partying is also a big part of the Temple scene. Also, although there are many opportunities here, if you are a person who is used to being able to be in many clubs in high school, it's harder to do so here. Temple encourages students to pick one club and stick with it, and I tried to do four at one time, which was not a good idea. Smaller schools that devote more time to clubs and classes would fit better if you do not enjoy the large campus feel.
