What impressed you positively?

Not much, I was not all that impressed with Temple. I think the only positive thing is if you want to go into ER medicine, Temple would be a great place because their ER sees one penetrating wound every night (on average.) The interview was fine but the students didn't seem all that competent in the grand scheme of things and said the only reason why they are there is they got into Temple and nowhere else.

What impressed you negatively?

It is in a god-awful location with crumbling houses all around the area that stretches for miles. I drove through most of Philadelphia and it reminded me, for some reason, of Detroit. You have to live far away to go to school there, and it's expensive, and I hope this is not the only school I end up getting into.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nada

What are your general comments?
