Temple University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Keith

The best part about Temple is the racial and ethnic diversity. Everyone who comes to this school cannot escape being challenged by a new environment. Students from the inner city meet people from the suburbs and rural areas. It is also located in North Philadelphia which is an extremely run down part of the city. Students are witness to economic and social depravity. This type of experience can challenge a student in ways that cannot be put into words.

Christine

I am able to learn a lot more about different people and cultures. Sometimes I'm more interested in learning about the people than about the material in class. It has really opened my eyes to the rest of the world and I think that it has bettered me as a person.

Temple University is filled with diversity in both its majors and student body. As a result of this, young adults are able to enter the school with the knowledge that they will be able to fulfill their dreams as well as getting a feel of the different types of people the world has to offer. Also, because of the size of Temple, it is not overwhelming. The class sizes in one's major resemble high school classrooms, making it comfortable for students to form friendships with one another.

Frank

One of Temple Universitie's strongest asset is it's huge number of available programs. I waffled throughout my first year of school, as I know many do, on exactly which major to pursue. Because of Temple's incredibly flexible Liberal Arts program and its inclusion of a business school, film school, etc. I was able to make an informed decision knowing that I had done due diligence in investigating other opportunities. Being able to interact with peers, professors and take classes in other fields of study allowed me to more intelligently make my decision.

Everyone is so accepting of everyone else and there are really no prejudices here. All the teachers want students to succeed and do everything they can to help them.

Honestly, the atmosphere. I love being on campus. It gets a bit crowded between classes when people are hustling and shuffling to make it to class, but besides that it really is a great campus. It is very close to Center City, but the campus feels safe. Eventhough I only commute 45 mins from home everyday I feel like I'm in a different world when I'm on my campus.
