Temple University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Temple University accurate?

Jamie

No... Temple is in a really sketchy neighborhood, but I feel like that doesn't hold true to the few blocks that is truly TU.

Janna

Temple is not in the best area and sometimes I wish the campus was gated.

Harrison

Somewhat. The neighborhood isn't that great, but it is improving. There is also a lot of diversity on campus, thus the student body has a wide range of quality people in it.

joe

not even close

Amanda

No, the area in which Temple is located is not so great, but the campus itself is completely safe.

Meg

Yes and No. Temple is in a rough neighborhood, but from my experiences the campus is safe. Temple is a great school for higher learning, and has come a long way from it's reputation as a night school for locals.

Janine
