Temple University Top Questions

The worst thing about TU is the financial aid office. They really don't seem to care and want to help students when we go with problems to them.

i feel like more can be offered to the students.....Especially the departments for the different majors

I would have to say, the counseling services aren't the best. Advice wise advisors are great. But it can be a huge hassle to get an appointment. Sometimes you have to show up as early as 7:30 am to get an appointment for that day, and even if you do make it to sign up early, once the time slots are gone you have to wait until the next day to try again, because they won't let you make an appointment for the following day even though you are already there. More finanical aid never hurt either!

There are a lot of really, really, dim people. Temple lets too many dumb people in.

Things can vary. Some professors are truly amazing while others suck.

Available on campus housing was limited and privately owned housing apartments were overpriced given their quality. It was hard for me to fully focus on my studies because of my financial situation and having to find a way to afford to stay in school. I had to personally work with the now retired financial aid director to find a way to stay in school. I was able to make it through, but it seriously did affect my psyche and just in school overall. I really hope that my future in graduate school is not as much of a struggle.

The surrounding neighborhood is kind of rough, so it seems unsafe but campus security does a wonderful job in assisting all those on campus grounds.

I honestly have no complaints about temple

Student financial services takes you on a wild goose chase trying to figure out your bills against your financial aid packages and they don't tell you about every scholarship, grant, loan you can apply for. Dining services could be a lot better as well. The dance department is not up to par.
