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.

A person who thinks that college is nothing but a party. If you are goning to go to Temple you need to take advantage of learing as much as you can. So when you graduate you can get a job that fits your needs.

If you are a person that prefers smaller institutions Temple can be a challenge in that it is a very large university with over 40,000 students, many colleges and programs. It is located in the urban area of Philadelphia, PA. Its size can be very intimidating for someone who is used to more personalized assistance or a lot of attention. Students have to be very independent, adventurous and responsible as there are many distractions. It is also helpful to be a self-starter and comfortable asking questions and taking initiative.
