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.

The worst thing about my school is the tution rate is so high and they keep raisng while finacial aide is declining. Finding the right teacher is hard and soem teacher don't deserve to be called teachers because they stop carring about teaching and insetead just care about their money. The dean of students also doesn't help when you encounter a probelm with a racist teacher and they take tecahers side always blame evrything on the student. . i dislike this college because of its racisim and its pro-israel agenda.

The worst thing about the school is the exact environment that it is in. Though there are two subway stations and multiple bus stops on campus, there is a necessary commute to experience the rest of Philadelphia.

During my first semester I would only say the only downside is the size, the campus is huge, but very organized.

The worst thing about temple university is its lack of proper housing for its students.

The worst thing about my school is that it is overpopulated. And sometime it's pretty hard to get one -one attention from your teacher or personal advising.

It is in the middle of the city, which is great and makes everything excessible; however, when you go more than a few blocks off campus, you find yourself in a pretty bad neighborhood. As long as you stay on campus, or travel in groups off campus, you will be fine.

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.
