Temple University
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaTemple University is a state-related public research university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Temple University was founded in 1884 by Dr. Russell Conwell and became known as Temple College in 1888. In 1907, the college became a fully accredited university. Temple University is the 28th largest university in the United States, the third largest provider of professional education in the country, and known for its programs in law, education, media, business, health sciences, architecture, and music.
Temple is a state-related university, meaning it receives public funds and offers reduced tuition for Pennsylvania residents but is under independent control. This differs from the schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) and is a status shared only with the University of Pittsburgh and the historically black Lincoln University. Pennsylvania State University is similarly a state-related university, although it is also a land-grant university, putting it in a slightly different category. Usually, tuition at state-related universities is higher than the tuition at the PASSHE schools due to the independence of the institution.
The Institution
The School of Dentistry, established in 1863 as the Philadelphia Dental College, is the second-oldest dental school in continuous existence in the United States and for 140 years, has provided men and women with a strong academic and clinical background for the practice of general dentistry.
The Temple University School of Medicine opened its doors to students on September 16, 1901. The third coeducational medical college in Pennsylvania, it began as a night and weekend teaching venture to accommodate working people. Classes were held initially in College Hall, next to Russell Herman Conwell's Baptist Temple Church, and clinical instruction was given at the Samaritan Hospital farther north on Broad Street. The original medical school numbered 20 faculty with 35 students enrolled during the first year. It remains fully accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. It employs approximately 452 full-time faculty, 73 part-time faculty and 875 staff. Each year it admits approximately 180 medical students and 24 graduate students.

Question: Can I get into temple university with a 2.8 GPA?my SAT score was 1460 out 2400, im taking it again. I've studied so much this summer so it has to go up to like 1580 maybe 1600 if im lucky. im going to work hard my senior year but does it even count in admission to college? Temple and buffalo university are my top choices. my major at temple is going to be nursing. I have to 2 back ups, lock haven university and Alfred state. I volunteer in a hospital and i work in nursing home.29 months ago
Best AnswerAccording to their admissions page, they are looking for a B average, with a 3.0 range in college-prep courses. In other words, if you took things like home ec or shop and did poorly on them, but did well on English, math, and history, you would be fine, but of course for most people it is the other way around. As far as SAT, they want 500-600 on both critical reading and math - they don't mention the writing section, so they may not count it. Back when I taught there, Temple was an open admissions school, which meant that if you graduated from high school, you could get in, but they had too many applicants, so they set limits. You aren't too far off, and if you could get your SATs up to where you really want them, you might be okay. It's a good school, so good luck! |
Question: How's Temple University?I'm thinking about going there and was wondering if people knew how it was?30 months ago
Best AnswerIt is the third best public university in Pennsylvania (after Penn State and Pitt). It has several good programs. It is also in an unpleasant area of Philadelphia. |
Question: Temple University Campus?How is the campus of Temple University in Philadelphia? Also how are the students and professors there? Are they friendly and helpfull. Is Temple a very crowded place?34 months ago
Best AnswerIt's right in center city philadelphia, and not in the kind of area you want to be at night. The main campus is lite up like a football game to try to make it safer. The main street (broad street) through the middle isn't bad, but the streets that run one block off broad st are scary in the DAYtime. My ex-girlfriend went there a few years ago, and said it was a scary place, but I think the classes and staff are good (she studied for PT). She commuted and didn't like walking to her car at night. She even got harrassed by a cop one night, pulled over just so he could ask what her custom license plate meant. Philly violence is up lately, so I can't imagine the area has improved. |
Question: temple university?i'm from bangladesh and have recently got accepted at temple. i have heard that temple's campus is not very good but is it a good school in terms of academics etc?..how are the students, professor's there? would it worth going there?34 months ago
Best AnswerI'm a graduate of Temple University and actually the campus is quite nice; it's the surrounding neighborhood that has the bad reputation. But the good news is that you don't ever have to enter the surrounding neighborhood if you don't want to. There is a subway (underground) stop that lets you off right at the campus and everyone else getting off are Temple students and staff. I couldn't have been happier with the academics at Temple. My classes were all taught by full-time professors and associate professors and I found almost all of them to be inspirational. Instead of "teaching from the book," they were often the authors of the books, so they made their subjects come to life. Even though Temple is mostly a commuter school, I had a very full social life and made many friends at Temple. I think you will really like how diverse the people are at Temple and you will find several very active international student organizations on campus. You will also find Philadelphia to be full of fascinating things to do. It is definitely worth going there. |
Question: i have heard that temple university's campus is not very good and that the area is not very good either..butis the university good as a whole? I mean are the academics, professors, students good there? Would it be worthwhile to go there? Also if i had to choose between temple university, college of saint elizabeth in NJ or wilson college in PA which one do you think would be worthwhile?34 months ago
Best Answertemple's main campus is in north philly, wich is a pretty funky neighborhood, however where temple is its ok because they have lots of security and lights and people. the school is pretty good from my understanding, its alot like any other big school. i drive by there alot and its like a fashion show kinda weird. but its got alot going on academicly. philadelphia is a cool town with lots going on as well. if you arent into an urban setting i would steer clear. i never heard of the other schools. |
Question: temple university or college of saint elizabeth?i have been accepted to temple university and college of saint elizabeth which is a women's college in NJ. I want to go to cse but my parents wants me to go to temple. i'm really in a dilemma! From what i've seen of cse on the website it seems like a good school. I've even talked to some students from there. Cse was on the US News and World Report too. On the other hand i didn't like temple at all..especially its location..my parents think that i should go to temple because it would be good for me in the long run. If anyone has heard of cse can you plz suggest what i should do?35 months ago
Best AnswerAs a Temple grad who absolutely loved my time there, I have a secret to tell you: no Temple student likes its location. But here is something else that you don't know: the location has next to zero effect on the quality of your college experience. The one thing it affects is your specific commute to campus. That's it. If you live off campus, changes are great that you'll approach the campus via the subway. You'll surface at a station that is surrounded by Temple buildings and everyone getting off are Temple students. If you live in a dorm, then you can spend 100% of your time on the campus (just like any other college student), or you can choose to take that same subway and be in Center City within minutes. I grew up in Philly and, sorry, but I never heard of CSE. Meanwhile, Temple has a national reputation in many areas, so it's known well beyond Philly. What I find surprising is that you're supporting CSE when you haven't even visited it. How much time have you spent looking at Temple's website and talking to Temple students? I wish I could be more objective, but after looking at CSE's website, myself, it's obvious that the two schools couldn't possibly be more different. I've rarely encountered such a galacticly vast difference, which is making me supremely biased. 1,858 students (with 160 freshmen) and 25 student organizations?! I would have been miserable there. If a tiny school with few choices is what attracts you most to a place, then I respect that. But the college years are supposed to be the best time of you life and a time of discovery. That's what Temple gave me - in spades. In contrast, it appears as though CSE is for people who might be looking to be more removed from the world and possibly considering a religious vocation. If that's what you want, it's not my place to say otherwise. |
Question: temple university?i have recently been accepted to temple university in philadelphia..i wanted to know how are the students at temple..are they mostly party-going..i'm completely the opposite..i don't like all this..i'm more quieter and don't like all these loud parties and more over i'm a girl from bangladesh..so considering all these will it be a good decision to go to temple or not?35 months ago
Best AnswerTemple is a large enough school where you can surround yourself with people who have the same interests that you do. It is largely a commuter school, with many students living at home and taking the subway to school. They won't bother you when they party. Temple is probably the third best public university in Pennsylvania (after Penn State and University of Pittsburgh). There are many serious students there -- and many who would rather party. It is located in North Philadelphia -- which is not the safest part of town. You will be safe during the day -- but should not wander around alone at night. At the same time -- don't be afraid to go out with other people at night, either. I would have been able to give you better advice if you told me what other choices you have. |
Question: Any opinions in general on Temple University in Philly...?I'm considering applying there, but not sure. The only drawback I have about it is the city location...not being used to the city at all really. But I would like to be more familiar with a city setting...sort of expand my horizons. Not that it's the only reason for considering a college in the city. For Temple University in particular, I hear they have a great journalism program...(possibly) the best one in the Philly and surrounding areas.35 months ago
Best AnswerI loved my four years at Temple and the amazing education I got there: inspiring professors (who are experts in their field), rigorous classes, and so many options for supplementary programs and ways to get involved. And this was in the late 70's, before all the latest wave of massive construction projects pushed the boundaries of the university even further. I hope you realize that you don't have to step foot or interact with the surrounding location in any way if you don't want to. The subway lets you out right at the campus and you are surrounded by swarms of fellow Temple students every step of the way. I agree that Temple is precisely the sort of place that can expand your horizons. |
Question: is temple university good?hello, i'm from bangladesh and have gotten accepted to temple university for fall 2007. can anyone tell if its a good place for undergraduate study. also howz the environment there? are the people friendly?36 months ago
Best AnswerTemple is a very respectable school which is well known in the eastern United States. The school is located in the northern part of the city of Philadelphia, right on the main street. IT is definitely an urban environment. Temple is quite a large school and there are a lot of commuter students and evening students (people who work in the city but go to school in the evening.) I'm wondering why you didnt check out all the details about the school before you applied!!! |

Best AnswerTemple. It is a well-respected school that always keeps up with the changing field of Comp-Sci. Ohio State is probably your next best bet. RIT, while distinguished, will probably not net you the best degree. |

Best AnswerTransfer Credit Temple University accepts all college-level liberal arts courses beyond the developmental level. These courses must have been completed with a grade of C- or better. Transfer students receive credit from all colleges and universities accredited by the appropriate commission of one of the regional accrediting Associations (Middle States, Northwest, North Central, Southern, Western, and the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges). Temple does not award credit for courses from institutions accredited by the Commission on Technical and Career Institutions of the New England Association or from any university, college, school, institute, or program accredited only by a national, professional, or specialized accrediting body. Whenever possible, credit is allowed for courses completed more than 10 years before the date of admission. |
