    Temple will always be known for having hard-workers who couldn't quite make it to more elite schools. I am a commuter though so it is kind of difficult. Temple is a big commuter school so you would think that they would have some set plan to give the professors to help you out. If you are any type of art major you have to live there. That's my huge mistake. Otherwise the school is always pumping with energy, diversity, and music. ...Continue reading

The area is nice because we're in Philadelphia and there are so many opportunities and fun things to do but the downside is we're in North Philly and there are some areas to avoid.

    Good school, should def stop by for a campus visit if considering colleges Been here for two years and they have really improved many of the facilities here. They are still constructing new buildings and keeping up to date with technology. Professors are great and extremely helpful. Easy to get around and lots of things to do. It's a pretty big school so the staff can't cater to all the students, especially when it comes to financial advising. Straight off the bat this school is teaching you how to take care of things yourself. Since its a big school its competitive in everything from classes to jobs. Be ready to work. ...Continue reading

    Don't fall victim to their bait and switch. Many Philly locals are unhappy that Temple is invading their space. The last 4 student housing developments were built in the middle of people's neighborhoods. They can't afford to hold their ground. I'm disappointed more ppl are talking about this. They don't discriminate either, whether you are a freshman, transfer, adult student or what, you will have issues dealing with the many administrative buildingsoffices. They are unorganized and it seems no one really knows what is going on, expect a ton of grief. ...Continue reading

    Hated the school but location is great I felt unsafe just walking two blocks to the train station. The students here were not the kind of people I wanted to be friends with. Dumpy buildings. I was totally miserable here for the one year I went and couldn't wait to transfer out to a much safer, better, cheaper school. In my opinion, the quality of education isn't as good as my local community college. Evening classes are difficult for commuter students, considering they are scattered over three different campuses, begin too early or end too late. ...Continue reading

    The only downside to Temple University Ambler Campus is that there is no housing and no dinning hall, so there is very little in terms of student activity, but they try! The overall culture seems welcoming and being a commuter, the availability of classes really work with my schedule. However, it's up to you to make sure you stay on track, advisers aren't always the most helpful. If you commute, you get no respect when it comes to snow or in general with snow. One thing they need to improve is the Asian History department, not enough main campus courses. ...Continue reading

    Temple will always be known for having hard-workers who couldn't quite make it to more elite schools. I am a commuter though so it is kind of difficult. Temple is a big commuter school so you would think that they would have some set plan to give the professors to help you out. If you are any type of art major you have to live there. That's my huge mistake. Otherwise the school is always pumping with energy, diversity, and music. ...Continue reading

It's a pretty big school so the staff can't cater to all the students, especially when it comes to financial advising.

    Don't fall victim to their bait and switch. Many Philly locals are unhappy that Temple is invading their space.

In my opinion, the quality of education isn't as good as my local community college.

    The only downside to Temple University Ambler Campus is that there is no housing and no dinning hall, so there is very little in terms of student activity, but they try! The overall culture seems welcoming and being a commuter, the availability of classes really work with my schedule. However, it's up to you to make sure you stay on track, advisers aren't always the most helpful. If you commute, you get no respect when it comes to snow or in general with snow.

It's a great school with tons of opportunities. ...Continue reading

    Temple's location of just a few subway stops from the center of Philadelphia gives people a great amount of opportunities for concerts and different restaurants or shopping areas. It seems like they are always new and do not know what is going on. ...Continue reading
