Zachary

Academically challenging and engaging campus with a heavy focus on "real-world' skills. The more you put in to everything here, the more you get out. Opportunities are endless..

Michael

Temple has many excellent programs, but I believe Temple thrives in its research programs and also medicine. Temple University is a name in the future of medicine and medical research. Students often get updates on the ground breaking progress that our medical facilities and students have made over the past years.

Temple is known for it's dangerous location in the city of Philadelphia. Instead of choosing to go school every day feeling fearful of my surroundings, Temple University provides it's students with a sense of independence. Temple gives it's students a dose of the "real world" than most colleges do. It gave me thick skin to be ambitious, work hard for my grades. Overall, we are known as the City School with the most ambitious students who are ready to be the next innovative workers of Philadelphia.

Sonya

My school is best known for its academics. Temple University wants their students to graduate with a degree that will help them succeed in life. Advisors and staff do whatever they can do in their power to help students. When they are struggling with something as simple as a homeowork problem to what they want to do with their life after college, there is always someone there that you can talk to and that will help solve your problem.

Nia

It's diversity. There are so many different cultures and ethnicities on campus you can literally meet so many different people from around the world. I think that's the best part because we sometimes forget that we aren't the only people living in the world. Once you meet someone from India or all the way from Bangkok, you learn about a whole new world through someone elses' eyes and it's an enriching experience. You not only learn in the classroom but you learn something new from the people around you everyday.

Julian

Good education for a low price.

SabraAnn

Temple University is best known for the urban location, as well as, the diverse student population and teachers. I would consider Temple more accepting when it comes to diversity, which may not be the case in smaller, more suburban schools. In addition, Temple has a number of majors and is more affordable than some private universities.
