Temple University Top Questions

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

Mark

The worst thing about my school is the crime that goes on in the surrounding neighborhoods because many students who live off campus live in those neighborhoods and are often the ones who end up in bad situations with locals.

Heidar

Teachers overall may not be the best quality compared to an ivy-league since it seems like some of these instructors do not belong in the teaching realm. But all in all, it equals out with other great aspects of the university.

Yosef

The worst thing about the school is the dagerous environment and the food.

Kendrah

The worst thing about Temple was that there was not enough housing for all of the students that wanted to live on campus. This provided an opportunity for housing rentors in the area to take advantage of the students because of the need for housing.

Temple has a very limited amount of on-campus housing. Their housing deptartment has trouble with all of its workers being on the same page as I was told on and off that on-campus housing both was and wasn't available (via phone calls and emails). This caused me to have to rush to find off-campus housing when I finally got a definite answer after going to ask in person.

The worst thing about Temple University was the limited access to on-campus housing. Students are only offered on-campus housing for the first 2 years and it is only guaranteed for the first year. There are a few 'university-sponsored' apartment complexes on or immediately outside of campus, but once students move off-campus, these expenses can no longer be claimed for financial aid.

The worst thing about Temple Unviersity would have to be that after your sophomore year there is no more housing so you have to find an apartment to live in for your next 2 years. Also Temple Unviersity is located in a part of Philadelphia that isn't so great. Around part of the campus the governemnt housing homes are located and other parts of Temple are located in dirty somewhat run down neighborhoods.

The worst thing about attending Temple University is the change of scenery. If you are not familiar with city life then you'll have to get used to it because at Temple you are thrown right into city life.

Tobey

The worst thing about Union Univeristy is the somewhat close-mindedness to the outside world. Union does an excellent job of preparing it's students, but the collective faculty and staff seem to sometimes forget that the world is not as sugar coated as they would like it to be. This most likely stems from the conservative Southern Baptist heritage, but sometimes it seems to interfere with the greater good that the professors, and overall Union community, are attempting to convey.

The worst thing about Temple University is the safety of the students. We had a couple of TU alerts where students were getting mugged and robbed out in broad daylight, and Temple University Police did not respond in time. There has also been a couple of harrassment issued between students on campus and homeless people. Those are the two biggest issues that Temple University has at this current moment, and I believe that that is the worst thing at Temple.
