Temple University Top Questions

I believe the worst thing about attending Temple University is the amount of students. It is difficult to have a personal relationship with the professor with such large classes. I also think that having so many students attend makes it more difficult to study and be serious about doing work. Also, in large classes with many students, it seems as if the work given is not challenging enough. I feel this is the case because with such large classes it is impossible to give meaningful work that can be graded personally by the professor.

This school is one of the most diverse in the nation, yet in my walks around campus the atmosphere is extremely sub-consciously segregated. Temple heralds itself in being diverse but offers no real solid programs to barricade racial groupings, prejudice, fear, and discomfort. The school itself has a large responsibility in doing this, in fostering a better social and learning environment. Our campus is a microcosm of the world, in which peoples from different nationalities, language, tribes, and neighborhoods, come together under for the same purpose of learning and exploring something better or new.

The classes for science majors are extremely hard and make it impossible to pass but it probably is better to know more than nothing.

The worst aspect of Temple University is the lack of modern, scientific laboratory equipment in the physics department. A substantial amount of the current equipment can be dated back as far as twenty years. As a physics student, I spend a great deal of time conducting laboratory experiments and I experience the frustration brought forth by inadequate scientific equipment first hand. A prospective career in the scientific field demands from a university the most up to date equipment for it's student body. This availability of modern physics equipment is one thing that Temple University has lacked.

The worst thing about this school is the lack of student jobs. I have been applying to help pay my tuition, but I have yet to find one, though I have applied for many. Being a freshman doesn't help.

The worst thing about this school is that it there is more attention put on students pursuing careers in business and law and not enough attention on students in the sciences. The classrooms and facilities in the business and law schools are brand new and clean, whereas the classrooms and facilities in the science buildings are old and somewhat dirty. The faculty in the business and law schools are also more attentive to the students' needs than the faculty in the science departments. Because of this bias, not many students in the sciences are getting a fully enjoyable academic experience.
