I'm considering applying there, but not sure. The only drawback I have about it is the city location...not being used to the city at all really. But I would like to be more familiar with a city setting...sort of expand my horizons. Not that it's the only reason for considering a college in the city. For Temple University in particular, I hear they have a great journalism program...(possibly) the best one in the Philly and surrounding areas.

I loved my four years at Temple and the amazing education I got there: inspiring professors (who are experts in their field), rigorous classes, and so many options for supplementary programs and ways to get involved. And this was in the late 70's, before all the latest wave of massive construction projects pushed the boundaries of the university even further.
I hope you realize that you don't have to step foot or interact with the surrounding location in any way if you don't want to. The subway lets you out right at the campus and you are surrounded by swarms of fellow Temple students every step of the way.
I agree that Temple is precisely the sort of place that can expand your horizons.

Temple U is in the hood. it relatively is in the coronary heart of north Philly (an relatively undesirable element of the city). besides the undeniable fact that, Temple has bought a significant land section wherein it gives you properly lite streets and extra beneficial protection. you will possibly desire to be risk-free going there. do basically no longer challenge out into north Philly. basically be conscious of your environment and don't enable your look after down. Philly is a huge city with a superb downtown section. it relatively is wealthy in way of life and 12 months around activities. Temple is likewise a school with a hugh array of components. additionally, do no longer anticipate that basically considering which you notice white dermis you're in a secure community; that's no longer continuously the case.

I agree- I too went to Temple and it was great- especially for me coming from a tiny rural town up north! Now I am a total city girl-
Temple has one of the best journalism fields in the COUNTRY! And Temple does have various campuses in the burbs if you want to start small- but I loved having everytrhing right there outside my door
