There is always something to do on campus; whether you want to attend an interesting lecture, a greek event, a political rally, a club meeting, or just find somewhere to get free food, you can find what you need on campus.

Its diversity in terms of both the staff and students and its computer based technology

The best thing about Temple is its diversity of the student population. There are people who come from right there in Philadelphia, other big cities, all over Pennsylvania and other parts of the world. It gives students the opportunity to meet different people and learn about other cultures. The variety of the student body is shown even within my group of friends. One of my best friends is Muslim and Palestinian, and another one is Jewish from Pittsburgh and I'm from New York. I've met so many great people with different backgrounds; it?s so cool!

The diversity of my school is the best thing because it's that diversity that helps students meet others, and respect where others come from. This diversity also allows students an equal opportunity to achieve a well rounded education. You don't know what types if people live around you until you are all learning together.
Ashleigh
I love the diversity in not only the student body but in the faculty. I have had so many great teachers who have been very supportive and encouraging, and most of all brilliant. Big names don't always mean broad minds.
Lea
The best thing about Temple is the Newman Center. I've made all of my closest friends there and the support I've recieved from them has made the transition from high school to college much easier. The Newman Center also provides a safe haven from the dangers of the streets of Philadelphia and from the craziness of the rest of Temple's campus.

The best thing about this school is the diversity of the student body and how well they all get along with each other. The racism or descrimination rate at this school is very low and everyone seems to be very interested in learning about one another. With this unity, all of the students are able to interact with each other very well, both socially and academically.
Rebecca
The best thing about Temple University is that there are so many different opportunities one can take advantage of. It allows people to try things that they normally would not have been able to do.
Edward
The best thing about Temple University is the diversity. It gives me the opportunity to view the world in a new way, and understand people who I have been unfamiliar with better. Temple offers many programs and clubs to explore different ideologies, or learn more about your own.
Courtney
Temple University offers a wide range of academics, community involvement, athletics, and opportunities of a lifetime. There is not just one specific aspect of the university that I would consider "the best". I came to Temple because it offered everything I was looking for. A big campus, Greek life, an extraordinary biology program, division one athletics, the ability to study abroad, and unlimited opportunities for the rest of my life.
Keith
The best part about Temple is the racial and ethnic diversity. Everyone who comes to this school cannot escape being challenged by a new environment. Students from the inner city meet people from the suburbs and rural areas. It is also located in North Philadelphia which is an extremely run down part of the city. Students are witness to economic and social depravity. This type of experience can challenge a student in ways that cannot be put into words.
Christine
I am able to learn a lot more about different people and cultures. Sometimes I'm more interested in learning about the people than about the material in class. It has really opened my eyes to the rest of the world and I think that it has bettered me as a person.

Temple University is filled with diversity in both its majors and student body. As a result of this, young adults are able to enter the school with the knowledge that they will be able to fulfill their dreams as well as getting a feel of the different types of people the world has to offer. Also, because of the size of Temple, it is not overwhelming. The class sizes in one's major resemble high school classrooms, making it comfortable for students to form friendships with one another.
Tony
The best thing about Temple University is the diversity of students that colors the school. Everyone is so helpful to each others and the environment is very welcoming. The campus gives off a good warmth which allows student to be comfortable and who they are back at home.
Frank
One of Temple Universitie's strongest asset is it's huge number of available programs. I waffled throughout my first year of school, as I know many do, on exactly which major to pursue. Because of Temple's incredibly flexible Liberal Arts program and its inclusion of a business school, film school, etc. I was able to make an informed decision knowing that I had done due diligence in investigating other opportunities. Being able to interact with peers, professors and take classes in other fields of study allowed me to more intelligently make my decision.
Shannell
The variety of major focuses, extracurricualr activities, help, and information found in the student centers, libraries and learning centers.
Taryne
It is universal. City mixed with suburbs and easy to get to surrounding cities as well, NY Baltimore. Its a very fun place to go to school
Karen
Everyone is so accepting of everyone else and there are really no prejudices here. All the teachers want students to succeed and do everything they can to help them. Also, the TECH center is amazing when you have to write a paper the night before it's due, although it does get a little crowded at night when everyone waits until the last minute to do their work!
Joanna
The best thing about Temple University is the diversity of the students and faculty. With the different ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds, you can gain a deeper appreciation for all beliefs and even learn about different ideas or viewpoints not previously known before. Also, there are several different campuses to accomodate a student's location.
Garrett
Convienient location and affordable. Good food for cheap!
