As for CSPD (Center for Student Professional Development), they are great. I have gotten internships with two Fortune 500 companies. You definitely have to initiate this yourself though.
Most importantly, the "Fox Advisors" are absolutely horrible. I have had nothing but problems trying to get help figuring out classes to take, switching majors, general inquiries, etc. Even when I did go to figure out my last 4 semesters of classes, my advisor FORGOT to write down Making an appointment online is difficult, and god forbid you need to speak with someone during their busy times. There are literally lines out the door the beginning and end of the semester. Once you get an appointment, also be warned they are not very helpful; they expect you to know exactly what you want and get irritated if you ask a question that can be found on the website. The department seriously needs to add more advisors, it's ridiculous.Overall, I think if you can find your niche in the school you will be ok. I have never gone to another large institution but I would assume they have the same problems.
My dorms were nice soph and jr year (white/1300) but first year in peabody sucked!!! Community baths in a dorm that has to be 50 years old or more. First year classes were a joke!!! I got mostly b's, though, because of an attendance policy that states that more than 6 absences lowers a grade down a level. I actually had one professor tell me I should come to help my classmates who were struggling, which at the time I thought was preposterous. I can understand now why she said what she said.
My professors in the School of Communication and Theater were some great people, each in his or her own way. Always accessible and eager to help.
Thankfully I never had to wait in the extremely long lines when I needed administrative help (I always felt badly for those who did). Getting a job on campus was easy, but the pay was slightly more than slave labor. Unless you are smart enough to major in the computer science field.I am a tropical weather lover, so the winter was a bit much for me. Overall, if you want a school where you can just come, work and get a degree..Temple is for you.
