I come from a suburban area in NewQuite BrightUndecided
I come from a suburban area in New Jersey. In high school I guess I was seen as the "artsy" type. I partied in high school. I did not want to come to Temple at ALL but due to financial reasons, this is where I ended up. I hate this school. To start, there are so many IDIOTS that go here because it is a state school with a high acceptance rate. The majority of the student body seems completely unfriendly and I've heard many other people say that it is difficult to meet people especially if you don't within the first week. The faculty here (excluding some teachers) are the rudest people I have ever encountered. Everyone that works here acts like you are bothering them when asking them a simple question. It creates a poor atmosphere for the school. The parties here suck despite the reputation it has for being a great party school.

On a positive note I think that the campus is really cool and the food isn't bad. The football games are fun if you are into that kind of thing.

In the time that I've been here there have been two shootings on Broad street (very close to my residence hall)but overall this school was a horribly choice for me and if you aren't an insane partier or a jock DON'T COME HERE. Also DO NOT come here if you care about having IDIOTS in your classes. NORTH PHILLY SUCKS. Don't come to this school it sucks a shitload you'll be much happier somewhere else.

The school sucks especially for science majors.Quite BrightChemistry
The school sucks especially for science majors. the staff misleads you into the wrong classes. i have a 3.5 GPA, but the work is dumb. in order to succeed here you need to rich or have parents who knows everything. the staff will lie and mislead you until you have to be here for 10 more years. advisory staff also made up of dumb idiots who only knows how to refer websites. hence, one of them was some african american history major and another was some economics. obviously neither had good gpas.
