"Enthusiasm of the students, helpfulness and friendliness of people at the school - people generally love being at Temple." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Buildings look very plain. Others who've posted feedback talk about how old the school is. Don't misinterpret this to mean that things look like they're falling apart or run-down. Instead, I would say that because some of the facilities look a bit old, they feel a bit plain." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The public transportation system isn't as reliable and consistent as I expected." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Great school, bad neighborhood. But to be honest this actually works in the school's favor in many ways. The school itself has some great clinical resources and seems to give students plenty of options during third and fourth year. In terms of the actual interview, I stressed out more than I should have. The interview was even less than I expected, even after knowing that Temple's interviews are very non-confrontational and relaxed." Report Response
