Big Picture

Temple is a great school. The location is very key as to what there is to do in the city, since most things are only a subway ride and/or short walk away. The administration is very good, and they handle problems well. There was an incident of anti-Semitism on campus recently, and the administration wasted no time in handling it and reassuring students that it wouldn't happen again. Personally, I spend a lot of time either on the track or running off-campus. But, when I'm around, I hang out on the main walk, or in my fraternity house. The thing that most people remember is Spring Fling, because it is always just one giant party that everyone on campus attends and hangs out together.

Academic Life

Academics are very important here. The sports teams and most fraternities set GPA requirements, which shows the focus is still on school, rather than extracurriculars. Being a broadcasting major, the most interesting class I've had so far is Intro to Media Technology, because I'm learning all the tools that I'll need in the future for my career.

Student Body

Our student body is very diverse, so there's nobody that should feel out of place here on campus. There are instances of racial discrimination, but they are dealt with swiftly. Student groups constantly pair up and co-sponsor events, which helps aid in student relations.
