What impressed you positively?

"campus security was good, and the area is well lit. temple has a free shuttle that runs from the undergrad campus to the health science campus, and also downtown. plus temple has public bus and subway (septa) stops on the undergrad campus, and the train station to the airport is on the undergrad campus too." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"the area of the health science campus is not the best, pretty much all the students commute. the day only gave us the opportunity to meet 3 students, and i felt like i didn't really learn that much about the school during the tour and talks. also i didn't think they addressed the probation issue thoroughly enough." Report Response

Report Response
