I'm more resentful of my own decision to spend time at Temple than I am of the school itself-- it serves its purpose: education factory. The school is filled with either thoughtful, lost and lonely kids, baseball cap fleece vests, or city-"emo"-hipsters too cool to be seen at school... too much red tape to make your own way through the administration, too much 'nobody left behind' to really be challenged or to stand out in class... and this all gives Temple the unavoidable smell of HIGH SCHOOL. If you were happy high school ended, think twice and ask some hard questions of Temple. Classes are easy and muddled. Psych professor was an "eccentric" dinosaur who would moan lectures in a comical "presenting important information to middle school kids that could never understand" kind of way. Remember that American history teacher you had who threw chairs around just to scare kids? Same deal. My Calc 3 prof was confused, disconnected, disorganized, and spoke in the low ghostly volume of a heavy ketamine user. The honors program is held together by socially awkward kids who are bound by their being so out-of-place at Temple, and the program is directed by a helpful-but-condescending mother-figure--a positive note, since she has administrative power to place students in desired classes, instead of being stopped by the system... but unfortunate that it's HER whim, in my personal experience. Sciences professors do not speak English. Most math do, though. Positive points--the availability of study abroad programs (campus in Tokyo), Dr. David Zitarelli of the math dept, the pianos available to anyone in the music building, the eastern European couple who own and dance in their coffee stand outside the library, the easy-target watered-down Christian debates under the belltower (a street preacher disappears every other year due to some sex scandal), and the availability and low price of delicious bacon-egg-n-cheeses at any hour of the early morning. Go see for yourself, but my general suggestion is go somewhere else.
