Temple University Top Questions

It goes by a lot quicker than you can imagine.

This question is the easiest so far. I really wish someone had told me where all the buildings were on campus my freshman year. For the first week of school, I got lost every single day. Now that I look back on it, it's kind of funny but at that time I was a wreck. I did learn some shortcuts to places on campus after the fact though so that was great.

I wish people who have told me to get involved right away. Freshman year was exciting because everything was new, and then when sophmore year came around I was bored which is why I starting joining organizations. I wish I would have joined from the beginning because then I would have never had that semester of boredom.

All of the buildings on Temple's campus that are next to each other connect. I spent all of freshman year walking out into the cold and into the next building when I all had to do was find the entrance inside!

That I needed to take certain courses from my old school at Coastal Carolina University.

I wish I would have known not to worry as much. It is going to be challenging and you are going to have to try really hard, but if you keep on top of your work and really apply yourself you will be fine. There are a ton of people in this school and it is really easy to make friends in your classes because everyone is going through the same experiences, especially in the beginning.

I wish that I had known about the stress levels it took to be a college student. I feel as though I was prepared for the academic aspect of college, but that's not all it takes to be a college student. There are social responsibilities, survival skills, and a lot of growing up involved in going to college. I was not as prepared for that as I should have been.

I wish I knew how difficult it was to find affordable off campus housing after freshman year.

I wish I knew more about the variety of majors offered at Temple University. Therefore, I would not have changed my major three times.
