How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked a bit on the website, talked to friends who go there.

What impressed you positively?

The people, everyone was so friendly, helpful, and pleasant. Even the man who worked in the bookstore was really eager to show my what books I might use should I choose to attend. Also they have great clinical opportunities to see rare and advanced diseases, because people in better communities just don't get as sick.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities, as they have noted, do need improvement. Its hard to get there by public transportation, and if you go a block in any direction from the school the neighborhood is not safe. Also, because of this students live all over the city. One friend said that she has felt as if there is racial segregation there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing much, I know several people who go there, so I was well prepared.

What are your general comments?

Great clinical opportunities because of being in a bad area, facilities need improvement. But overall I really liked temple, I really felt at home with the people there. And during the day the campus feels very safe.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
