What is the stereotype of students at Temple University? Is this stereotype accurate?

Mary

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.

Mary

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.
