Temple University

While the faculty in my major is fantastic, I feel very unsatisfied with my University. The core admisitration, along with most of the fringe offices, make it clear that they are only here to make money. This University makes me feel as though I am only paying my dues, rather than getting a worthwhile education. The student population is quite diverse, as the propaganda goes, but it's not only in cultural background, but also attitude. Too few students are here for the education, as is evidenced by the freshmen attrition rate. Quite often the hardest work all semester doesn't come from class, but in getting the University paperwork sorted out. Offices frequently lose forms, misplace data, forget to notify students of important occurences (these often come after the fact,) and the list goes on. I have tried to make this school work for me, but I feel it is time to move on to another.
