What impressed you positively?

"Temple's relationship with the local community and the proximity to the Temple healthcare system. The students did genuinely like it there - unlike the other feedback posted here. Security is super-tight. I walked in without ID and got shook-down even though I was in a suit. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Park in the Childrens's Hospital garage on the East side of Broad. If you miss it, you end up in a maze of one way streets." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I didn't think that I was interested beforehand and it turns out that right now I'm not - but for a very different reason than before. A lack of gunners was their big selling point. The students and faculty continually referred to the fact that Temple doesn't accept 'gunners' so if you come to Temple, you don't need to worry about them. A gunner is someone who is over-competitive and in my mind often insecure. I wonder who is more insecure, the gunners or the people that are afraid of them. Also, Temple has been in business for a really long time and hasn't had to change its name like Hahnemahn I mean AUH I mean Drexel. I originally didn't think that I could be in that 'hood, but it wasn't that bad." Report Response
