Temple University Top Questions

Before I came to Temple I wish I could have known a little more about time management and ways to procrastinate less. That was a major problem that I had my freshmen year, and learning how to manage my time wisley took me awhile to learn. Temple is a very academic focused school and its very easy to slip and fall behind in classes if your not organized. I also wished that I would have known a little bit more about public transportation and how much money it can save you, if you use it.

Entering as a transfer student, I was never given a campus tour. This would have been helpful to find the library, bookstore, cafeteria, and gym a little easier. Although I am an older student, adjusting back to college life can be difficult, and I wish there would have been some more orientations and tours available for students like me.

I wish I had know more about the school program. Howver, I am glad to chose this School.

I wish I had learned sooner how important it is to become involved on this campus. There are so many different oppertunities offered through extra cirriculars, student organizations, and volunteering oppertunities. These activities provide students with exceptional networking oppertunities to set themselves apart and make an impact within their industry. As a hospitality student I have been able to make connections with industry professionals that I greatly admire. In order to become successful on campus you need to make yourself known by getting involved and networking as much as possible.

One thing I wish I had been aware of when I started college was the benefit of studying and doing schoolwork at the library. I began going up to the library whenever I needed to study, and found that my study habits improved as well. I even met people who were studying the same subjects as I was and we were able to form little study groups. My grades improved, I made new friends, and I was less stressed. Studying and doing my homework in the library made school a place to work.

Before I attended this school I wish I was fully aware of the life of the campus. There are many things to be destracted by on campus, however I learned to find the right balance. I just wish I had known to be prepared.

I was quite aware of how the school functions. I was surprised to see how interactive they are with students, we are not just a numkber in the school.

The amount of financial aid would be lower than what they originally said.

I wish that the program I am in was slightly more catered to my career aspirations. Unfortunately, they have just begun to change the program so that it suits my goals, but I am not going to be able to take those courses. I am seeking outside opportunities to achieve my goals.

I came into Temple very well informed, there's nothing I could ask for.
