Temple University Top Questions

If you do not like partying or large classes, Temple is not the place for you. I went to a high school with around 500 students, then jumped to Temple-- a school with over 30,000 students. It is easy to feel small here, so I think the size of the school is the most intimidating. Partying is also a big part of the Temple scene. Also, although there are many opportunities here, if you are a person who is used to being able to be in many clubs in high school, it's harder to do so here. Temple encourages students to pick one club and stick with it, and I tried to do four at one time, which was not a good idea. Smaller schools that devote more time to clubs and classes would fit better if you do not enjoy the large campus feel.

Someone that is cutthroat or not willing to be in a diverse environment.

Those who would not feel comfortable at Temple would be people who are not used to or dislike a city envirnoment. Anyone who is of a more "elitist" nature or who is not comfortable with diversity would feel unwelcome.

If you are a bigot, if you are closed minded, if you are hateful, stay away from Temple University. The comunity is wonderful. People care about eachother here. Yes, people form groups and will stick with said groups, but people are open to talk to strangers. At Temple, people are open to new ideas –discussions about philosophy, polotics, religion, anything– and we can talk without feeling threatened. If you are someone who is hateful, please, don't poision the water.

The person that should not attend this school is someone who does not want to be with a large diversity of students. The person should not be someone who does not like to walk from five minutes to each building. Also, the person should not be someone that cannot handle crowded areas. The person should not be solely focused on academics as well.

Someone who doesn't like the big city and big school feel.

A person who isn't motivated, who lacks determination, and who isn't serious about their work should not attend this school. A person who doesn't care about their academics and just comes for the social events should not attend this school.

Temple University has a very large population and has an urban campus. People who dislike urban environments with large populations should not attend this school.

The type of person who should not attend this school is one that does not prefer a big school and one that does not like to get involved in extracurricular activities.

The type of person that shouldn't attend Temple University would be the kind of person who isn't willing to put their best foot forward and work towards a bright future, and who wouldn't want a bright future? My point is that no one should be left out from attending Temple Universiy because being Temple Made will allow anyone a spot in a career of someones interest.
