What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely laid back- especially the students. They had an exam earlier that day and another one scheduled for the following day, but still took their time having lunch with us and were very relaxed and seemed happy. The bad area everyone talks about would make for some amazing clinical experiences 3rd and 4th year.

What impressed you negatively?

Some facilities seem slightly aged (but new building will be ready in 2009). I don't like Philadelphia

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Philadelphia is a very dirty city and I didn't like it. Also, the public transportation is EXTREMELY easy to get to temple. USE IT (instead of blowing $45 on a cab ride)

What are your general comments?

Decent, laid back day. Interview in the morning was very short and relaxed. Admissions presentation, Financial Aid presentation, Tour, and Lunch. I was not super impressed with Temple, but the students seemed great and really make me consider going.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
