Temple University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Temple University? Why?

One issue that I consisently had with Temple was their lack of snow days. Many of the students and foculty commute to the campus, but even when there was an abundance of snow they would rarely give us a day off or a delay. To make matters worse, they would require us to come in and the campus would not be fully shoved and salted, making for some dangerous situations.

the worst thing about my school would probably have to be all of the options that are available as far as campuses to study at. There are so many cmapuses and you don't know which one to go to.

Won

The dangerous neighborhood just outside the campus, because it's dangerous.

Erin

It's hard to make friends as a commuter, since on-campus housing is so expensive I couldn't afford it. Also, being an out-of-state student is very costly.

Chamarra

Students can smoke anywhere on the campus even as they are walking to class. Things around campus are sometimes overpriced.

Jose

The only thing that I didn't know coming in to Temple was the amount of commuters that are there. I thought that the University would have more of a 'family' campus feeling but it doesn't. I would consider that being the worst thing at Temple.

The worst part about the school would the hosuing arrangements. After your freshman year you will have a slim chance for finding a dorm and must either commute or find an apartment. Its a huge transition and it takes getting use to.

Jean

The worst thing about Temple is that not everyone is able to have as an amazing experience as I have had in my major, Tourism & Hospitality Management! The professors, advisors, Dean and students are exactly what a college should be. There is such a great amount of support and you can always find someone willing to help with whatever issue you may be facing. Other Colleges at Temple have various advisors and just treat you as a number, not by name or who you are.

Jamila

The worst thing about Temple University is the limited amount of financial aid offered from the school and the federal government. If our financial advisors claim that private loans should not be used to pay tuition, then there needs to be additional financial aid.

Believe or not, the worst thing about Temple University is the location of the school. I am very satisfied with School of Tourism and Hospitality Management's curriculum. However, It is very difficult for students to find a off campus apartment since, this area is filled with residents. I have an older sister who goes to Temple University. We were looking for an apartment since it took us a long time to commute. Nonetheless, we had no other choice but to commute because it is hard to find an apartment.
