What impressed you positively?

The interviewers and the student tour guides LOVED the school. The facilities are absolutely gorgeous and brand new. I came in not quite sure how I would feel about Temple and left thinking that I would almost certainly go there if they accepted me.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How to navigate the subway system from the school to the airport.

What are your general comments?

There were two interviews: a student and a faculty interview. I ended up talking to the faculty interviewer for 30 min longer than scheduled because we got into an in depth discussion of our respective research fields. The student was a little less casual than the prof, and she seemed kinda nervous to be interviewing. Still really enthusiastic about the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
