Temple had a reputation as being a school for the untraditional students, those that I described in the latter part of the first question. However, over the years Temple has saught to change those dynamics, and it has increasingly admitted more and more of the traditional types of students. Unfortunately, this has led to an overcrowding of the main campus along with a huge backlog in administrative procedures such as seeing your advisor or transferring credits.

After having completed only one semester at Temple thus far, the one complaint or worst thing about my school that I have encountered is that it's difficult to find out about various social organizations and clubs. I've always been a believer in being a well-rounded person, academically and socially. As a result, coming into Temple, I wanted to discover the clubs that would be of interest to me and beneficial in some way and that would contribute to my overall college experience. I haven't found a consolidated form or online resource of Temple's numerous clubs.

The worst thing about my school is that it is in somewhat of a bad area. At night I dont really feel to safe and always prefer to walk with a a big group of friends.

The staff in many of the different buildings (especially student housing office) are irresponsible and impolite. Can't depend on things getting done when you need them. Last year I lived in a dorm and the room flooded due to a broken pipe over winter break -Temple University needed to go through insurance to reinburse me for the damaged items - it's been twelve months and after several attempts to contact them I still haven't had any feedback. Probably the biggest negative about the school and very unprofessional.

Temple is a big school and there are a lot of people on campus all the time. It gets a little crowded, which sometimes you can love or hate.

I truly do not believe anything is negative about Temple University. I have enjoyed being a student there my entire time and feel that my education is great. The only positive would be if every professor could have an office of their own to office hours to be more flexible but beside that I do not have any complaints.

The lack of the variety of food choices. ALthough we are in a city, the places that take meal plans do not give much variety.

Temple's largest downfall is how impersonal it's student advising is; it is very rare for a student to meet with the same advisor twice in a row.

The worst thing about my school is the location because it is located in a dangerous part of Philadelphia.
