My biggest regret was transferring to Temple. I have been in college 5 years already. I do well in my classes, but changing my major set me back a year, and I spent a semester coming to school part-time because I have a job. I visited my advisor and he told me that my major's curriculum had changed, and because I went to school part time one semester, I didn't have enough credits to graduate under the old curriculum. So I was placed on a new curriculum, and now have to go to school an extra 2 years because classes that were required on the old curriculum no longer count, so I wasted many credits. No one told me that would be an issue when I discussed with my advisor that I needed to come to school part-time. Advisors and staff never return emails or calls, and no one really cares about you. It's true, you're just a number here. My education is suffering here. Honestly, I have nothing positive to say about this school, except it's a little cheaper than others. That's it. If transferring wasn't such a pain, I would be gone.

Yes, Temple has the worst advisors. I'm supposed to graduate in May but I was just told that I'm missing two required classes. This is annoying because my junior year, I had an advisor map out my senior year and tell me what classes to take so apparently this advisor was wrong and I have to stay at Temple for another semester. Their advising is horrendous and their advisors don't know what they're talking about.
