Temple University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Andrew

The workload

Lauren

I wish I had known that the guidance department couldn't always be trusted and that graduation in 4 years for me wasn't in their best interest. I also wish I could have known all the red tape that comes with course registration for a music major and that there were no seating auditions in orchestra.

Victoria

Work in journalism in news editoral or magzine based careers and part time as a dental hygienist.

Sarah

I wish I had known which extracurricular activites Temple supported. Lately, I have become extremely interested in an activity that Temple does not have and nowhere in the city has this activity, not even other colleges.

Marc

Before coming to Temple University I wish I knew more about the number of people who commute. This ranges from off-campus housing to commuting from home. This fact makes the campus seem dead on nights and weekends. Although this hinders the level of social activities which occur in this time, I still feel that the education and relationships that I make while at Temple are superior to any other university that I considered. I only hope that Temple is successful in building its campus life by making more on-campus housing available.

Amanda

I wish I knew what a hassle it was to commute and park here. It is such a drag driving here everyday, finding a place to park, or paying alot of money for parking. This adds up since I have class 5 days a week!

Natasha

That it was so busy, it is a lot to deal with.

Jessica

Nothing, I love it!

Stephanie

How much there is to do here.

Lesia

How to not be nervous in crowds and relate to people better. I wish i had also known that teachers woiuldnt put so much time in helping you lelarn everything. I understand that this isnt high school but the point of college is to teach until we understand it. Some teachers make us do all the learning outside the classroom and i dont like that.
