Temple University Top Questions

I'm not sure if there is a stereotype at this school, besides the ones about the art students. Tyler School of Art is probably the most hipster place in the northeast. Everyone's got a style they think is original, which is really just outdated nineties. And the amount of females with nose rings (and some males) is outstanding. Apparently, nose rings with art students is like an acceptable facial tattoo. Since you can turn it up, you can get a "real" job. If you don't want a "real" job, then don't worry about what you put into your face- you work for yourself! Everything people say about the art students is true (me being an art student myself), so beeeeee wary~...

I don't find any stereotype at this school.

I think geeks are the stereo types. They are so called "otaku" who are not flexible at anything. But we never judge people so there weren't really any discrimination or anything.

Templemade... and yes it is true

When it is nice outside the white students gather around the Bell Tower (known as Beury Beach) and the black and Spanish students play music and hang out on Liacouras Walk. The game room in the Howard Gittis Student Center, as well as the wall of food shops located near Anderson Hall are frequented mostly by the Asian Students. You may think that it's the nerds that are in the TECH Center and Paley Library at all hours of the night, but it is actually the procrastinators that are found "sleeping over" in these buildings. Frat kids like to think they run the school, but their power stops at the doors of the frat house. By this I mean the only power they hold on campus is to whether or not they allow non- Greeks access to their parties.

Temple University is known as "Diversity University". We have a variety of stereotypes that include the Greeks, Athletes/Jocks and the Geeks. Just like pretty much any stereotype, they are not accurate.

One big stereotype at my school is 'ghetto' for lack of a better word. People assume that because we are diverse, and live in the city, that we are somehow 'ghetto' whatever that may mean. Yes. North Philadelphia is a very interesting place to live, and yes, you may have a homeless person ask you for money at least once a day. However, the quality of student at Temple is extremely impressive, and our community is very respectful and educated.

Well, I go to Temple University which is a huge school in Philadelphia with over 30,000 students. There is no stereotype for us because we are vastly diverse group of people. Most of the student are hard workers that usually balance a job, social life, and being a student. However, I think everyone in college goes through this.

Many Temple students are seen as "hipsters". A prominent stereotype at Temple is that all hipsters ride city bikes, dress in ragged clothes on purpose, and have an often aloof attitude. This stereotype is fairly accurate. Many Temple students subscribe to the "hipster" lifestyle and fulfill the stereotypes.

Like every college, there exists various stereotypes about the students who attend that school whether based on the school's reputation or on the reputation of the students themselves. Temple University is a really diverse college which is one of the reasons as to why I decided to attend. With such a diversity comes with it people from different backgrounds who possess all sorts of widespread stereotypes. We have what people call jocks, the frat kids, geeks, etc. What should be known is that this is completely different environment from what takes place in high school. These are still cliques but I find that at Temple, these cliques are not as segregated as they are at most schools and the students involved in them are not ostracized from other groups and are friends with people who are not in their particular group. There are stereotypes that one may hold about a particular group but that doesn't mean that those stereotypes are acted upon. Temple is a very inviting and warm college which makes it easier to make friends with anybody you might have never thought you would get along with. Once you get to know someone on an individual level, you get to see them in a whole new light and they could turn out to be your best friend. Since Temple is not a very big school, meeting people is not that hard if you are willing to let go of some of the stereotypes that have been thrown in our faces from where we come from. Don't judge others because then you too will be judged.

Temple has a diverse range of students, and each school has its own stereotype. Overall, the stereotype is of diverse young adults who love the city. And that is definitely true! You'll find students from all walks of life at Temple, and you're sure to find great new friends that you share plenty in common with!

There isn't necessarily a stereotype about students at Temple University, especially since the student body is so diverse. But because of the diversity, one could easily find a student that fits into each stereotype - there are Jocks, Frat kids, Stoners, Geeks, and more at Temple. Since it's such a big school, you're bound to find your niche somewhere!

Temple has about every student you can think of. There really is not a stereotype because of this reason. We have a huge art school so there are many artsy people and we are a division one athletic school so we have jocks but we also have one of the largest tech centers on the east coast so you have plenty of nerds too. Luckily Temple is full of one type; just plain students. Like me, you are a student who likes a little of everything and enjoys having the city of Philadelphoa at your finger tips.

My school is greatly diverse in all ways. It is one of the most diverse schools in the country. And, it is this broad diversity what makes me belive that my school has a lot of various stereotypes. You would almost find people of each and every strereotype at Temple. By the way, I don't like stereotyping.

Our school is one of the most diverse campus' in America. With that being said, there is not one stereotype that fits the majority of students at Temple. There are of course, the Frat boys and Sorority girls who always wear their letters on shirts. Then, there are the football and basketball players who wear their maroon red team logo warm-ups every day. Finally, you have the skaters, who can be found skateboarding next to the subway. The rest of Temple is identified by race groups: Whites, Blacks and Asians.

Temple is a diverse school with students from all over the world. There is no one common stereotype.

Here at Temple, the reputation seems to be that we are filled with hipsters. We have a large number of art-affiliated, culturally diverse, eco-friendly and intellectual group of students. This does not necessarily mean they are all hipsters. We are just trendsetters set in a metropolitan setting, so it's inevitable that we may be art and cultural involved. Of course, in such a large university, there will be frat and sorority kids, jocks, foreigners, environmentalists, artistic, and the so on. But we seem to be known as the Diversity University because you will meet people with absolutely different cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and values.

I believe that frat kids are individuals that are looked at as people who only look to party, and arent looking to be successful as far as school goes. I completley disagree, and believe they are hard working individuals because not only are they dealing with school, but their frat as well.

It seems like everyone just wants to party. They also seem pretty unfriendly; no one meets or participates in class.

there are a few stereotypes one is asians travel in packs. its somewhat true. another is there is no stereotype. Temple is like a pot of diversity, and every one is different. there's not a majority race, or gender preference. the students are all very nice, and help each other out.
