Temple University was one of the best schools I personally considered for the simple fact that its' student body is one of the most diverse I've ever seen, and its' campus imitates a small city in itself. When I'm on campus I feel like Temple is a town on its' own instead of a school campus, hence why you can find some of the surrounding area as 'TempleTown' on apps like Google Maps.

The quality of the professors and facilities available are just as legitimate and worthwhile as any private, exorbitantly priced university. As a transfer student, the lower cost of Temple University and knowing I would be receiving a wonderful education all the same was why I chose to be a student here. Don't let the words 'state school' fool you into thinking it's any lesser than a private, more 'prestigious' school.

Temple is a realistic school for students with a genuine student body from all walks of life that are looking to achieve excellence in their fields. I was accepted into several schools my Senior year of high school but the tuition they required combined with cost of living was unreasonable. Their status as schools however, often trumped the cost for most students that were accepted. Temple not only has a tremendous record of success for students in both the sciences and the arts, but it maintains reasonable tuition and living costs and continuously rewards those students who work and excell.

Temple University is one of the most diverse campuses around! One of my favorite aspects of Temple is the fact that it is located in the city. It is the real world and you have access to the entire city! You feel like an adult and you don't feel as if you are in a "college-town" type of bubble. I think it gives students more of a real-world outlook and understanding of life, which is amazing.

Temple has excellent music faculty. They are very qualified and many of them are in the Philadelphia Orchestra. Temple is also great because it is in Philadelphia, but still has a very collegiate feel. It is convenient to all the culture and convenience of the city. Students at Temple really love it too. Everyone is really glad to be there and really loves the school. Temple also has great diversity; everyone's different, and we have all kinds of different people.

24 hour Starbucks that has been the highest grossing one in Philadelphia... 24 hour 7-eleven that has ALL of the slurpee flavors. Diversity is pretty great here.

Hey! Come to Temple because it is a great school! You can't get diversity and top notch academics anywhere else. You also won't find a city with so much to do and so much to explore like Philadelphia!
