I consider that someone that chooses Temple needs to go not only to obtain a diploma, but also is someone that wants to learn new things about the real world. Someone that likes challenges; someone that will be open to other cultures; someone that is concerned for something else than just grades; it should be someone that is passionate, and that is willing to share their skills as well as to learn new ones. It should be a person that wants to be part of something different than the rest of the regular students.

I believe that Temple is better for a student who is willing and able to teach most of the academic material on their own. The students also have to do a lot of research on their own (finanical aid, graduate programs, scholarships, internships, etc.). If you have someone who can guide you through your academic carreer and are confident in your independent skills, then Temple is the school for you.

I would recommend Temple University to students who are ready for an adventure. People who are young and unsure of their future aspirations will have plenty of opportunities to explore choices here.

Any person who is wishing to challenge themselves not only academically but also socially should attend Temple. It is in the heart of the inner city so if a person has a propensity towards the country, I would not recommend this school. It is not far from downtown Philadelphia, but it is in a totally different setting. It is also in a not-so-nice part of this city so potential students should be fully aware of the environment they will be placed in.
