Temple University Top Questions

Temple makes it really hard for you to graduate on time by making you take unnecessary amount of credits/classes. Way too many people are 5th year seniors.

Academics are very important here. The sports teams and most fraternities set GPA requirements, which shows the focus is still on school, rather than extracurriculars. Being a broadcasting major, the most interesting class I've had so far is Intro to Media Technology, because I'm learning all the tools that I'll need in the future for my career.

The classes are really engaging and while the cousre material may not be particularly hard it teaches a lot. The only thing i don't enjoy is that every class in some way goes back to relating to race or gender. temple's academics feel very career oriented which is very nice because you realize that you will actually use this knowledge at one point.

Class sizes are fairly small. Within the majors, professors know students' names. I feel the professors are great. The advertising department is great and provides alot of resources.

Overall I had a very positive experience with my academics at Temple. I had both huge (a few hundred students) and very small (a dozen students) classes. I didn't mind the large classes at all, as they were mostly core and lower level classes my freshman and sophomore years. Most students that I noticed leave the work in the classroom, and as soon as they walk out of the classroom start talking about other things.

Though some people may not like big lectures, that's not all you have here. It is a big school, but once you get into your major classes you have smaller classes. I liked more professors than I dislike. Once you get the hang of college, it is so easy to figure out what professors want from you.

Temple is what you make of it, if you want to learn, and be noticed and get to know the professor, you have to take initiative and go to office hours, participate, and sit in the front of class.

my professors have all been pretty great for the most part. Everyones participates in class, its an open forum. Students at temple are not competitive, we are all on the same boat.

I, fortunately, have experienced some great professors. One of the reasons why I guess I'm glad I'm still here. The journalism program, for the most part, and some of the journalism clubs here are excellent.

Professors are very open and willing to help you whenever you need it. professors like to use class participation as a part of the grade because most like to get everybody involved.
