Temple website, SDN, U.S. News & world report, My application

What impressed you positively?

The school has 2 university hospitals across the street from the school. A solid minority retention & support program. The class structure.

What impressed you negatively?

It's in one of the roughest areas of Philly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

the students were very energized. The area, while bad, is very well lit and patroled by their Cops. Also it is a positive in that you have an opprotunity to see any & everything when training in their hospitals. My interviewer was very old (80+) and it was as if you interviewed with your grandmother.
