These students are amazed by the diversity:

"I'm so proud I chose Temple because I've really branched out and sought change when I could have remained close to home in a comfortable, enclosed environment. My dream has always been to travel and experience new things with all sorts of people, and Temple is helping me to do just that by broadening my perspective and introducing me to diversity." - Holly Zimmerman, 2020

These students love TU more than PSU:

"It makes me proud that I went to a school that is on the come up and not a cliche (aka Penn State)" - Anonymous, 2018

"I've been able to accomplish so much in such a little time here, and I've watched my friends do the same. Plus we know how to turn up like no other and beat Penn State." - Bexx402, 2017

"Temple handles everything in a classier way that we can all be proud of. For example, the way we handled the Cosby scandal vs. the way Penn State handled the Paterno scandal." - Anonymous, 2019

These students know the Owls are making a name for themselves:

These students simply love Temple:

"Temple University has given me great social, cultural, and educational experiences that I know I will use throughout my life. I have made friends here that I know will last a lifetime!" - Brooke, 2017

"Temple has been the best decision I have ever made. Everything about this school makes you proud to go here." -Max, 2016


And this student who was pleasantly surprised:

"Here's the thing: I didn't want to go to Temple. When I made up the decision to go to Temple, I felt like I was giving up on my dreams. That could not be further from the truth. There is not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful that the circumstances forced me to go the Temple, because now that I am on campus, I understand that no other college could provide me with as many opportunities and tools for success at the relatively low price that Temple does. Plus, being in the honors program means I have the small class sizes and seminar-style classes that I otherwise would've paid tens of thousands of dollars more for at the small liberal arts college I once thought was a better fit. I am proud to call Temple home." - Claire McGlinchey, 2020

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
