I'd say at this point Temple U. is recognized most for the diversity of its student population. When I went there, and for most of the time preceding my matriculating days, it was known for being an affordable institutional that really served those who commuted. But now, it's a school ... really for everyone. It's a quality school.

Temple University is best known for their diversity. The campus is open to everyone, and people of all different backgrounds are represented all over campus. The diversity aspect helps students learn about interacting with people very different from them and opens students up to knew experiences. When becoming a part of the Temple Univesity community you quickly learn to have an open mind. Everyone can find their place and fit in here thanks to the diversity aspect of campus. The diversity of Temple's campus will give me an advantage to working with people different from me in the future.

My school is best known for its city setting. Since Temple is situated right in the middle of Philadelphia, there are pros and cons. It's great to be in the middle of a large city, but that also brings along crime and opportunity. Personally, I love the city, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. You won't find much grass on campus, but I think that can be expected. The campus does a nice job of seperating the city from the campus.

The best part of Spring Semester is Spring Fling. Spring Fling is a day that the University sets up tons of stands all around campus where local clubs and organizations sell things and have games. It is basically an excuse to skip classes and have fun all day before finals start.

Temple is located in the heart of Philadelphia, giving the school a very urban feel. However, the campus is a town of it's own. The two come together to give the school a very unique dynamic. With 36,000 plus undergraduate students at main campus, it's an extremely diverse campus allowing students to have their eyes open to many new things. With such a small student to professor ratio, though, despite the large student body, at Temple, students are so much more than just a number.

Union's Christian Studies professors are world renown for their contributions to Biblical teachings.

Temple University is best known for it's all around great programs for all majors. Whether you are undecided, in health care services, in business, or anything else, you will be very well taken care of at Temple University. We may be best known for our medical services though, because we have a separate campus for these students where they work hands on in our very own university hospital.
