I was a Communications major, and despite it being a top-notch program in a major city, I found History to be more appealing. I love the professors in the History department, they are much better 'teachers' than anyone outside of Liberal Arts. I would recommend Temple if you aren't looking to pay a lot of money but still want a pretty good education in an urban environment. Don't listen to the horror stories about on-campus experiences. Living in a city (whether it is Detroit or Seattle or Boston or New York), it's a CITY. Use common sense, don't go half naked to a party in a high-crime area (which Temple surrounds, and every other school in Philly minus UArts surrounds).

I had applied to over 10 schools, and had not anticipated going here. But even though my decision was based on personal finances, if I had known then what I know now, I may have been willing to pay the full out-of-state price. I really love this university. The people are extremely nice, and for someone who visits private catholic colleges often, I can guarantee that Temple students are much nicer. The academics are challenging, especially if you're in the honors program, but the challenge is always to your benefit. There is not a ton of mandatory work, but the work that you are given is always graded and is an good assessment of your knowledge of the subject matter. The dorms are about a 7/10 in terms of comfort, but the lack of wireless in certain dorms is frustrating. There is always new construction, and its exciting to walk into Alter Hall (the main Business School building) which is new as of 2008 and is gorgeous inside and out. I believe 3 or 4 new buildings will be completed in the next couple years. The social life is very good at Temple, and while partying off campus is an option, the sheer volume of people and the its proximity to Center City, Philadelphia assures that being bored on weekends is difficult. The only gripes I have is with the safety off campus. It is a problem, and going off campus at night in North Philly can be risky depending on where you go. However, that should not detract from the excellence of the rest of the college. Education Quality: A+, Perceived Campus Safety: D+ Have a Question?

I met many transfer students also and they were really open. The campus is big. There are parties going on at night but you just have to find the right one. The school is very diverse and there is a lot to do here. It can be scary at night, so only walk the streets that are lit up. I see Temple Police on every corner i go, and the security guards in the booths also make you feel safe. The course work is overall challenging. Many students spend their time in the Tech Center to do their homework. Surrounding City: A-, Useful Schoolwork: B Have a Question?
