Temple University Top Questions

I wish I knew how hard it was here. Plus, I wish I knew just how many people were here.

everything i needed to know was answered and that's why i choose this school

I wish I had knownhow distracting the campus can be. School work is a priority, I did not try my hardest my first uear. Being in the City of Brotherly Love is an awesome experience, however college is an awesome opportunity. The city will always be there however, now is my only chance with my grades and to make the best of my future.

How financially crippling it would be.

I wish I had known what I was in for. Especially the first couple biology classes. Also the unorganization the school represents sometimes.

Temple is great. For the most part Temple well prepares you for the real world

What I actually wanted to study. I took alot of classes I didnt need and will probably end up taking an extra semester to graduate. I also wish I knew how helpful Academic Advisors are (which thankfully, I learned!)

Before I came to Temple University I wish I had understood how greatly college changes you. Not only were my spiritual beliefs challenged and molded by my experiences, but also my social life and desires were redirected. Growing up on a farm and moving into Philadelphia, I had no idea what awaited me. I wish I would have known all the mistakes that I was going to make, which goaded me into becoming a better person. I wish I would have known how hardened the city can make you and how isolated a school of 30,000 can sometimes feel.

I wish I had known more about the social possibilities for a while I didnt really discover the campus the way others have. After sophomore year I became familiar with the social aspects and locations of the campus. I also wish I knew about the ways to find off campus housing. I didn't really know about craigslist which became my saving grace in finding an apartment after Sophomore year.

I wish I had been more sure about what I wanted to study. I also wish I had known how hard it is to establish residency to claim in-state tuitiopm.

I wish I had known that I would miss nature so much. The city is getting so old to me.

It's clique-y and huuuge.

that the availability of online courses were so limited

Nothing, I enjoy learning new things everyday.

Nothing. I knew the school very well before I came.

The total quality of the faculty and staff in regards to assisting students.

I wish I had known more specifics about the types of classes and core requirements in the curriculum.

that school is wayyyy more expense then I thought and that its better to be working while your in school

I wish I had known how different the standards are in college. I thought that I could do the same level of work that I did in high school and ended up doing poorly my freshman year. But once you get used to it, the work is more challenging and it makes you feel good to know you can accomplish it.

Not much of anything because I expereienced Temple before I attended the school. I wish that someone would have informed me about the lousy housing.
